How Many SU Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.74 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 3,449 SU shares, about $231,945 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $67.25. $1,000 a month takes about 6,897 shares, about $463,823. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Suncor Energy (SU) pays $0.435 a share quarterly, $1.74 a year, a 2.59% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $67.25. It has paid since 1994 and raised its annual dividend 5 years in a row.
At today’s rate of $0.435 quarterly and the last close of $67.25, this is what SU pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.435 | $0.15 | $1.74 |
| 100 shares | $43.50 | $14.50 | $174.00 |
| $10,000 invested (148.7 shares) | $64.68 | $21.56 | $258.74 |
| 3,449 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.32 | $500.11 | $6,001.26 |
| 6,897 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.20 | $1,000.07 | $12,000.78 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 SU shares reinvest into 0.65 new shares each payment, about 2.6 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 155 shares. Raises speed that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with SU’s own history in the SU DRIP calculator.

SU Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- SU yields 2.59% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $67.25.
- Its own 5-year median is 4.19%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 5 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 SU’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After September 2026
SU has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Dec 4, 2026, with the cash around Dec 6, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.435 a share, went ex on Sep 4, 2026 and paid Sep 7, 2026.
- Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)
- Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date

SU vs Similar Dividend Stocks (EOG, EPD...)
Against the 10 dividend-paying Energy companies closest to SU in market value, SU’s 2.59% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 3.48%, and its raise streak of 5 years is the 5th longest. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: it is often the market pricing in a cut, so read it next to the rating and the coverage behind it.

What the Dividend Safety Rating Means for SU
SU Dividend Questions
How often does SU pay dividends?
SU pays quarterly, 4 times a year. Recent payments arrived in Mar, Jun, Sep and Dec, with ex-dates in Mar, Jun, Sep and Dec. The ex-date comes about every 91 days, and the cash usually lands about 2 days later.
Does SU pay dividends monthly?
No. SU pays quarterly, 4 times a year. For payers that pay every month, see the monthly dividend stocks.
When is the next SU dividend?
SU has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 91 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Dec 4, 2026, with the cash around Dec 6, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.435 a share, went ex on Sep 4, 2026 and paid Sep 7, 2026. The current rate is $0.435 per share, $1.74 a year.
Does SU pay a dividend in December 2026?
Not declared yet. By its usual rhythm the next ex-date falls around Dec 4, 2026, with the cash around Dec 6, 2026, so a payment in December 2026 is likely. Only the company’s declaration makes it final.
How much does SU pay per share?
SU pays $0.435 a share quarterly, $1.74 a year. At the Nov 10, 2026 close of $67.25 that is a 2.59% run-rate yield, below its usual level: its own 5-year median is 4.19%.
Has SU raised its dividend?
Yes. SU has raised its annual dividend 5 years in a row, through 2025. The latest raise, on Nov 30, 2023, took the rate from $0.3824 to $0.3996 (+4.50%). Over five years the dividend grew 21.2% a year.
Is SU’s dividend safe?
No rating can promise a future payment, but the record on file says a lot. SU paid out 26% of its earnings and 23% of its free cash flow as dividends over the 4 quarters to Sep 30, 2026. It has raised its dividend 5 years in a row and gone 5 years without a cut. Through the market crashes: it raised the dividend through the 2008 crash; it held it through 2000 and 2022; it cut it in the 2020 crash. This is data, not investment advice. The full 13-check rating comes with a plan.
How do I track my SU dividends?
Add SU 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 SU in the DRIP calculator.
