| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.189 | $0.02 | $0.19 |
| 100 shares | $18.90 | $1.58 | $18.90 |
| $10,000 invested (130.8 shares) | $24.73 | $2.06 | $24.73 |
| 31,747 shares ($500/mo) | $6,000.18 | $500.02 | $6,000.18 |
| 63,493 shares ($1,000/mo) | $12,000.18 | $1,000.01 | $12,000.18 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FDEQX shares reinvest into 0.25 new shares each payment, about 0.2 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 405 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FDEQX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FDEQX yields 0.25% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $76.44.
- Its own 10-year median is 0.43%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.25% 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.
