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

At $1.52 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 3,948 XLE shares, about $245,329 at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $62.14. $1,000 a month takes about 7,895 shares, about $490,595. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) pays $0.38 a share quarterly, $1.52 a year, a 2.45% run-rate yield at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $62.14. It has made 112 dividend payments since 1999.

At today’s rate of $0.38 quarterly and the last close of $62.14, this is what XLE pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.38$0.13$1.52
100 shares$38.00$12.67$152.00

7,895 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.10$1,000.03$12,000.40

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 XLE shares reinvest into 0.61 new shares each payment, about 2.5 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 164 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

XLE Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

19/100Well below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • XLE yields 2.45% today, at the Nov 10, 2026 close of $62.14.
  • Its own 10-year median is 4.18%, so today’s yield is well below 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.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
2.17% low8.31% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

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.

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

XLE 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 21, 2026, with the cash around Dec 23, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.38 a share, went ex on Sep 21, 2026 and paid Sep 23, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 91 days (quarterly)
  • Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date

Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to XLE in fund size, XLE’s 2.45% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 0.98%. 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 3 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.
