How Many PARA Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $0.20 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 30,000 PARA shares, about $2,100 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $0.07. $1,000 a month takes about 60,000 shares, about $4,200. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Paramount Global (PARA) pays $0.05 a share quarterly, $0.20 a year, a 285.71% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $0.07. A special dividend of $20.00 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 2006 and raised its annual dividend 1 years in a row.

At today’s rate of $0.05 quarterly and the last close of $0.07, this is what PARA pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.05$0.02$0.20
100 shares$5.00$1.67$20.00

60,000 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 PARA shares reinvest into 71.43 new shares each payment, about 763.6 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 2 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

PARA Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

Reset by the 2026 cut
  • PARA yields 285.71% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $0.07.
  • A cut in 2026 skews its yield history. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.34% low30.77% high
Blue mark = today. A higher yield means a lower price against the payout.

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 PARA’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After July 2026

PARA has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual gap of about 91 days the next ex-date was due around Sep 14, 2026, and it is not on file yet: it may be late, or still to be announced. The latest one, $0.05 a share, went ex on Jun 15, 2026 and paid Jul 1, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)
  • Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date
  • Next earnings report: Nov 16, 2026

Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

PARA vs Similar Dividend Stocks (SADL, TSQ...)

Against the 10 dividend-paying Communication Services companies closest to PARA in market value, PARA’s 285.71% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 9.75%, and its raise streak of 1 year 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.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 11, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 12 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
