| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.332 | $0.11 | $1.33 |
| 100 shares | $33.20 | $11.07 | $132.80 |
| $10,000 invested (37.8 shares) | $12.56 | $4.19 | $50.23 |
| 4,519 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.31 | $500.10 | $6,001.23 |

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FTEC shares reinvest into 0.13 new shares each payment, about 0.5 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 797 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

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.
