How Many HLFN Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.12 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 5,358 HLFN shares, about $273,258 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $51.00. $1,000 a month takes about 10,715 shares, about $546,465. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Home Loan Financial (HLFN) pays $0.28 a share quarterly, $1.12 a year, a 2.20% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $51.00. A special dividend of $1.375 came on top in the last year; specials are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has paid since 1998 and raised its annual dividend 2 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.28 quarterly and the last close of $51.00, this is what HLFN pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.28 | $0.09 | $1.12 |
| 100 shares | $28.00 | $9.33 | $112.00 |
| $10,000 invested (196.1 shares) | $54.90 | $18.30 | $219.61 |
| 5,358 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.24 | $500.08 | $6,000.96 |
| 10,715 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.20 | $1,000.07 | $12,000.80 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 HLFN 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.

HLFN Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 10-year median is 3.44%, so today’s yield is well below 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.
When Is HLFN’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After November 2026

- Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)

HLFN vs Similar Dividend Stocks (HFBL, AFCG...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Financial Services companies closest to HLFN in market value, HLFN’s 2.20% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 4.43%, and its raise streak of 2 years is the 4th 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.
