How Many PAA Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.67 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 3,593 PAA shares, about $84,687 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $23.57. $1,000 a month takes about 7,186 shares, about $169,374. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA) pays $0.4175 a share quarterly, $1.67 a year, a 7.09% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $23.57. It has paid since 1999 and raised its annual dividend 4 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.4175 quarterly and the last close of $23.57, this is what PAA pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.4175 | $0.14 | $1.67 |
| 100 shares | $41.75 | $13.92 | $167.00 |
| $10,000 invested (424.3 shares) | $177.13 | $59.04 | $708.53 |
| 3,593 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.08 | $500.03 | $6,000.31 |
| 7,186 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.16 | $1,000.05 | $12,000.62 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 PAA shares reinvest into 1.77 new shares each payment, about 7.3 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 57 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

PAA Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

- Its own 5-year median is 7.49%, 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 5 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.

PAA vs Similar Dividend Stocks (OVV, WES...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Energy companies closest to PAA in market value, PAA’s 7.09% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 3.10%, and its raise streak of 4 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.

Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Jan 29, 2027, with the cash around Feb 1, 2027, so a payment in February 2027 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.
How much does PAA pay per share?
PAA pays $0.4175 a share quarterly, $1.67 a year. At the Nov 10, 2026 close of $23.57 that is a 7.09% run-rate yield, near its usual level: its own 5-year median is 7.49%.

It has raised its dividend 4 years in a row and gone 5 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2000, 2008 and 2022 crashes; it cut it in the 2020 crash. This is data, not investment advice. The full 13-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my PAA dividends?
Add PAA 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 PAA in the DRIP calculator.
