About the SO dividend calculator

The Southern Company (SO) dividend income calculator reconstructs what an actual cash investment would have paid out in dividends. At the split-adjusted closing price of $3.62 on Jan 26, 1982, an investment of $1,000 bought 276.24 shares — the cost basis every payout below is measured against, through May 18, 2026.

Across that span those shares have paid $18,086.66 in dividends — about 18× the $1,000 invested. Measured against the entry price, yield on cost moved from 14.56% in its first full year (1983) to 81.22% by 2025, reflecting a dividend that has grown far faster than the price originally paid.

These numbers assume every dividend was taken as cash. Reinvesting instead — the DRIP toggle above — would buy additional shares at each ex-date price, compounding the share count and lifting every subsequent payment.
