EC with dividends reinvested
$10,000 in EC, every dividend reinvested, holding the payment and share price flat. Deliberately conservative — most calculators assume years of uninterrupted growth, and that assumption drives most of the result.

What makes up EC's 3.86% yield
EC paid $0.65 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $16.84, which is where the 3.86% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.
A yield near the median tells you little on its own, so the number worth pairing it with is the payout ratio: at 0.52, roughly 52% of EC's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 48% is retained. Two companies on identical yields can sit at opposite ends of that range, and it is the difference between a payment with room to absorb a weak year and one without.
Energy dividends are funded by cash flows that move with commodity prices, so the yield on this page reflects one point in a cycle rather than a settled level. Several large producers pay a base dividend topped up by a variable component, and a trailing yield blends the two.
When EC pays, and what that changes
EC pays annual, which is unusual among US-listed payers and has two consequences the annual figure hides. The "monthly average" column is an average and nothing more — no cash arrives in most months — and the gap between payments means a holder buying between them waits longer for the first one.
Infrequent payments also compound marginally more slowly when reinvested, since each distribution spends longer as cash before it is put back to work. The reinvestment figures above use EC's real schedule rather than assuming quarterly payments.
Each payment has an ex-dividend date, and it is the date that governs entitlement: shares bought on or after it do not carry that payment. EC's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is EC's dividend covered by earnings?
EC's payout ratio of 0.52 means roughly 52% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving the rest retained. A margin that size is what allows a payment to be maintained through a weaker year without being funded from borrowing.
That ratio deserves a caveat specific to cyclical earnings, though: it is struck against one year's profits, and in this kind of business those profits swing with prices the company does not set. A comfortable-looking ratio at the top of a cycle and a stretched one at the bottom can describe an unchanged dividend — so the level matters less here than where in the cycle it was measured.
The figures hold the dividend flat. No multi-year record of consecutive increases is on file for EC, so treat the projection as arithmetic on today's payment rather than as an expectation about future ones.
EC dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in EC pay in dividends?
- At EC's current yield of 3.86%, $10,000 pays about $385.67 a year — roughly $385.67 per payment, paid annual, or $32.14 a month averaged out.
- What would EC be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in EC would grow to about $14,600 after 10 years, against $13,857 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.
- How often does EC pay dividends?
- EC pays annual — 1 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is EC's dividend guaranteed?
- No. Dividends are discretionary and can be reduced or suspended at any time, and every figure here is a projection from the current yield rather than a forecast. Check EC's full payment history before relying on any of it.
