State Street Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Premium Income ETF (XLSI) pays $0.215 a share monthly, $2.58 a year, a 10.74% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $24.03. It has made 15 distribution payments since 2025.
At today’s rate of $0.215 monthly and the last close of $24.03, this is what XLSI pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.215 | $0.22 | $2.58 |
| 100 shares | $21.50 | $21.50 | $258.00 |
| $10,000 invested (416.1 shares) | $89.47 | $89.47 | $1,073.66 |
| 2,326 shares ($500/mo) | $500.09 | $500.09 | $6,001.08 |
| 4,652 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.18 | $1,000.18 | $12,002.16 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 XLSI shares reinvest into 0.89 new shares each payment, about 11.3 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 112 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 13, 2026, XLSI paid $2.92 a share and its share price went from $23.71 to $24.03, so total return covered every dollar paid.

XLSI Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- XLSI yields 10.74% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $24.03.
- 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.
