How Many TU Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $0.54 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 11,030 TU shares, about $97,616 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $8.85. $1,000 a month takes about 22,059 shares, about $195,222. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Telus (TU) pays $0.136 a share quarterly, $0.54 a year, a 6.15% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $8.85. It has paid since 2000 and raised its annual dividend 10 years in a row.

At today’s rate of $0.136 quarterly and the last close of $8.85, this is what TU pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.136$0.05$0.54
100 shares$13.60$4.53$54.40

22,059 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.02$1,000.01$12,000.10

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 TU shares reinvest into 1.54 new shares each payment, about 6.3 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 66 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 TU’s own history in the TU DRIP calculator.

TU Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

Reset by the 2026 cut
  • TU yields 6.15% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $8.85.
  • A cut in 2026 skews its yield history. So there is no usual level to compare today’s yield with yet.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
3.92% low12.55% high
Blue mark = today. A higher yield means a lower price against the payout.

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.

When Is TU’s Next Dividend? Ex-Date and Pay Date After September 2026

TU has not declared its next dividend yet. By its usual rhythm of about 92 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Dec 11, 2026, with the cash around Dec 13, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.136 a share, went ex on Sep 10, 2026 and paid Sep 14, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 92 days (quarterly)
  • Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date

TU vs Similar Dividend Stocks (TME, TIGO...)

Against the 10 dividend-paying Communication Services companies closest to TU in market value, TU’s 6.15% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 2.54%, and its raise streak of 10 years is the 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.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 10, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 13 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
