First Trust Dorsey Wright Focus 5 ETF (FV) pays $0.0761 a share quarterly, $0.30 a year, a 0.42% run-rate yield at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $72.58. It has made 39 dividend payments since 2014.
At today’s rate of $0.0761 quarterly and the last close of $72.58, this is what FV pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.0761 | $0.03 | $0.30 |
| 100 shares | $7.61 | $2.54 | $30.44 |
| $10,000 invested (137.8 shares) | $10.48 | $3.49 | $41.94 |
| 19,711 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.01 | $500.00 | $6,000.03 |
| 39,422 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.01 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.06 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 FV shares reinvest into 0.10 new shares each payment, about 0.4 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 954 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

FV Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- FV yields 0.42% today, at the Nov 12, 2026 close of $72.58.
- Its own 10-year median is 0.34%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.42% 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.
