| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.5361 | $0.04 | $0.54 |
| 100 shares | $53.61 | $4.47 | $53.61 |
| $10,000 invested (140.6 shares) | $75.37 | $6.28 | $75.37 |
| 11,193 shares ($500/mo) | $6,000.32 | $500.03 | $6,000.32 |

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 SMIN shares reinvest into 0.75 new shares each payment, about 0.8 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 133 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

SMIN Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- SMIN yields 0.75% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $71.13.
- Its own 10-year median is 0.76%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. 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.
