To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 743 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

TMFC Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- TMFC yields 0.13% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $76.51.
- Its own 7-year median is 0.25%, so today’s yield is below its usual level.
- No steady norm: a 0.13% yield is too small to say much about the price. So this reads today’s yield against its own 7-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 7 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.
