With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FDCPX shares reinvest into 0.27 new shares each payment, about 0.3 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 369 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FDCPX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FDCPX yields 0.27% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $189.48.
- Its own 10-year median is 0.82%, so today’s yield is well below its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.27% yield is too small to say much about the price. So this reads today’s yield against its own 10-year history as it is.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.
