| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.3581 | $0.06 | $0.72 |
| 100 shares | $35.81 | $5.97 | $71.62 |
| $10,000 invested (120.0 shares) | $42.97 | $7.16 | $85.93 |
| 8,377 shares ($500/mo) | $3,000.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.01 |
| 16,754 shares ($1,000/mo) | $6,000.01 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.02 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 XT shares reinvest into 0.43 new shares each payment, about 0.9 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 233 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

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.
