| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $1.011 | $0.17 | $2.02 |
| 100 shares | $101.10 | $16.85 | $202.20 |
| $10,000 invested (50.5 shares) | $51.05 | $8.51 | $102.09 |

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 QUS shares reinvest into 0.51 new shares each payment, about 1.0 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 196 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

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.
