How Many GS Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $20.00 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 300 GS shares, about $273,084 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $910.28. $1,000 a month takes about 600 shares, about $546,168. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Goldman Sachs Group (GS) pays $5.00 a share quarterly, $20.00 a year, a 2.20% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $910.28. It has paid since 1999 and raised its annual dividend 14 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $5.00 quarterly and the last close of $910.28, this is what GS pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $5.00 | $1.67 | $20.00 |
| 100 shares | $500.00 | $166.67 | $2,000.00 |
| $10,000 invested (11.0 shares) | $54.93 | $18.31 | $219.71 |
| 300 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 600 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 GS shares reinvest into 0.55 new shares each payment, about 2.2 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 183 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

GS Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 10-year median is 2.06%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
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.

GS vs Similar Dividend Stocks (WFC, BACHY...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Financial Services companies closest to GS in market value, GS’s 2.20% run-rate yield is close to the group’s middle yield of 2.39%, and its raise streak of 14 years is the 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.
