How Many FRO Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.76 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 7,895 FRO shares, about $369,249 at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $46.77. $1,000 a month takes about 15,790 shares, about $738,498. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Frontline (FRO) pays $0.19 a share quarterly, $0.76 a year, a 1.62% run-rate yield at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $46.77. Special dividends added $5.99 in the last year; they are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has made 70 dividend payments since 2001.
At today’s rate of $0.19 quarterly and the last close of $46.77, this is what FRO pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.19 | $0.06 | $0.76 |
| 100 shares | $19.00 | $6.33 | $76.00 |
| $10,000 invested (213.8 shares) | $40.62 | $13.54 | $162.50 |
| 7,895 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.05 | $500.02 | $6,000.20 |
| 15,790 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.10 | $1,000.03 | $12,000.40 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FRO shares reinvest into 0.41 new shares each payment, about 1.6 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 247 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FRO Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FRO yields 1.62% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $46.77.
- Its own 10-year median is 5.42%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. 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.

- Ex-dates: about every 92 days (quarterly)

FRO vs Similar Dividend Stocks (BAH, TTC...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Industrials companies closest to FRO in market value, FRO’s 1.62% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 1.37%, and its raise streak of 0 years is the 8th longest. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: it is often the market pricing in a cut, so read it next to the rating and the coverage behind it.
