| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.079 | $0.01 | $0.08 |
| 100 shares | $7.90 | $0.66 | $7.90 |
| $10,000 invested (241.9 shares) | $19.11 | $1.59 | $19.11 |
| 75,950 shares ($500/mo) | $6,000.05 | $500.00 | $6,000.05 |
| 151,899 shares ($1,000/mo) | $12,000.02 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.02 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FMIMX shares reinvest into 0.19 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 524 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FMIMX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FMIMX yields 0.19% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $41.34.
- Its own 7-year median is 0.34%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.19% yield is too small to say much about the price. So this reads today’s yield against its own 7-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 7 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.
