PIMCO Access Income Fund (PAXS) pays $0.149 a share monthly, $1.79 a year, a 13.39% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $13.35. It has made 57 distribution payments since 2022.
At today’s rate of $0.149 monthly and the last close of $13.35, this is what PAXS pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.149 | $0.15 | $1.79 |
| 100 shares | $14.90 | $14.90 | $178.80 |
| $10,000 invested (749.1 shares) | $111.61 | $111.61 | $1,339.33 |
| 3,356 shares ($500/mo) | $500.04 | $500.04 | $6,000.53 |
| 6,712 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.09 | $1,000.09 | $12,001.06 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 PAXS shares reinvest into 1.12 new shares each payment, about 14.2 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 90 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 11, 2026, PAXS paid $1.79 a share while its share price fell from $16.04 to $13.35. Total return was -$0.90 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $0.90 more on top.

PAXS Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 4 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.
