At today’s rate of $0.14 quarterly and the last close of $218.61, this is what HWM pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.14 | $0.05 | $0.56 |
| 100 shares | $14.00 | $4.67 | $56.00 |
| $10,000 invested (45.7 shares) | $6.40 | $2.13 | $25.62 |
| 10,715 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.10 | $500.03 | $6,000.40 |
| 21,429 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.06 | $1,000.02 | $12,000.24 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 HWM shares reinvest into 0.06 new shares each payment, about 0.3 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 1,562 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

HWM Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- HWM yields 0.26% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $218.61.
- Its own 10-year median is 0.31%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.26% 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.
