| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.263 | $0.26 | $3.16 |
| 100 shares | $26.30 | $26.30 | $315.60 |
| $10,000 invested (1,631.3 shares) | $429.04 | $429.04 | $5,148.45 |
| 1,902 shares ($500/mo) | $500.23 | $500.23 | $6,002.71 |
| 3,803 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.19 | $1,000.19 | $12,002.27 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 SOLM shares reinvest into 4.29 new shares each payment, about 65.6 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 24 shares. Here the share count grows fast partly because the price keeps falling: more shares, each worth less, so count the shares and their value together.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 13, 2026, SOLM paid $4.45 a share while its share price fell from $21.82 to $6.13. Total return was -$11.24 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $11.24 more on top.

SOLM Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- SOLM yields 51.48% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $6.13.
- Too new to rate — paying since 2025. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
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.

SOLM vs Similar Dividend Funds (BITK, KMLI...)
Against the 10 dividend funds in n/a closest to SOLM in fund size, SOLM’s 51.48% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 38.42%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.
