How Many IEX Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $2.92 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 2,055 IEX shares, about $484,857 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $235.94. $1,000 a month takes about 4,110 shares, about $969,713. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
IDEX (IEX) pays $0.73 a share quarterly, $2.92 a year, a 1.24% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $235.94. It has paid since 1995 and raised its annual dividend 16 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.73 quarterly and the last close of $235.94, this is what IEX pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.73 | $0.24 | $2.92 |
| 100 shares | $73.00 | $24.33 | $292.00 |
| $10,000 invested (42.4 shares) | $30.94 | $10.31 | $123.76 |
| 2,055 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.15 | $500.05 | $6,000.60 |
| 4,110 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.30 | $1,000.10 | $12,001.20 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 IEX shares reinvest into 0.31 new shares each payment, about 1.2 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 324 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

IEX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- IEX yields 1.24% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $235.94.
- Its own 10-year median is 1.22%, 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.
When Is IEX’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026
IEX has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 95 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Jan 5, 2027, with the cash around Jan 8, 2027. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.73 a share, went ex on Oct 2, 2026 and paid Oct 5, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 95 days (quarterly)

IEX vs Similar Dividend Stocks (SWK, RBA...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Industrials companies closest to IEX in market value, IEX’s 1.24% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 1.03%, and its raise streak of 16 years is the 5th 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.

Does IEX pay dividends monthly?
No. IEX pays quarterly, 4 times a year. For payers that pay every month, see the monthly dividend stocks.
When is the next IEX dividend?
IEX has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 95 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Jan 5, 2027, with the cash around Jan 8, 2027. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.73 a share, went ex on Oct 2, 2026 and paid Oct 5, 2026. The current rate is $0.73 per share, $2.92 a year.
Does IEX pay a dividend in January 2027?
Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Jan 5, 2027, with the cash around Jan 8, 2027, so a payment in January 2027 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.
How much does IEX pay per share?
IEX pays $0.73 a share quarterly, $2.92 a year. At the Nov 10, 2026 close of $235.94 that is a 1.24% run-rate yield, near its usual level: its own 10-year median is 1.22%.

Is IEX’s dividend safe?
No rating can promise a future payment, but the record on file says a lot. IEX paid out 40% of its earnings and 32% of its free cash flow as dividends over the 4 quarters to Sep 30, 2026. It has raised its dividend 16 years in a row and gone 30+ years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2008, 2020 and 2022 crashes; it held it through 2000. This is data, not investment advice. The full 13-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my IEX dividends?
Add IEX to a free DRIPCalc portfolio once, with your buy date and share count. Every payout since fills in, dated and in dollars; with DRIP on, the new shares each payment buys are counted for you, so there is no spreadsheet to update and no broker login. To project the snowball, run IEX in the DRIP calculator.
