How Many PEGA Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.12 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 50,000 PEGA shares, about $1,565,000 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $31.30. $1,000 a month takes about 100,000 shares, about $3,130,000. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Pegasystems (PEGA) pays $0.03 a share quarterly, $0.12 a year, a 0.38% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $31.30. A special dividend of $0.083 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 made 83 dividend payments since 2006.
At today’s rate of $0.03 quarterly and the last close of $31.30, this is what PEGA pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.03 | $0.01 | $0.12 |
| 100 shares | $3.00 | $1.00 | $12.00 |
| $10,000 invested (319.5 shares) | $9.58 | $3.19 | $38.34 |
| 50,000 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 100,000 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 PEGA shares reinvest into 0.10 new shares each payment, about 0.4 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 1,044 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

PEGA Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- PEGA yields 0.38% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $31.30.
- Its own 10-year median is 0.28%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.38% 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.
When Is PEGA’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026

An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.03 a share, went ex on Oct 1, 2026 and paid Oct 5, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 90 days (quarterly)

An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.03 a share, went ex on Oct 1, 2026 and paid Oct 5, 2026. The current rate is $0.03 per share, $0.12 a year.

Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Jan 1, 2027, with the cash around Jan 3, 2027, so a payment in January 2027 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.

Is PEGA’s dividend safe?
No rating can promise a future payment, but the record on file says a lot. PEGA paid out 7% of its earnings and 5% of its free cash flow as dividends over the 4 quarters to Sep 30, 2026. It has gone 7 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2022 crash; it held it through 2008 and 2020. There is no 2000 record on file. This is data, not investment advice. The full 13-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my PEGA dividends?
Add PEGA 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 PEGA in the DRIP calculator.
