How much does $10,000 in ET pay in dividends?

At ET's current yield of 6.66%, $10,000 pays about $666.17 a year — roughly $166.54 per payment, paid quarterly, or $55.51 a month averaged out.

What would ET be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?

Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in ET would grow to about $19,361 after 10 years, against $16,662 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 ET pay dividends?

ET pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.

Is ET'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 ET's full payment history before relying on any of it.

Why is ET's dividend yield so high?

ET yields 6.66% against a 2.92% median across US dividend payers. A yield is a ratio, so it rises either because the payment went up or because the share price came down — and the figure alone does not say which. Yields this far above the market among ordinary operating companies are unusual and often reflect what the market expects rather than what has been announced.

What makes up ET's 6.66% yield

ET paid $1.34 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $20.19, which is where the 6.66% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.

Yields at this level usually have a structural explanation rather than a mispricing: the company is organised to distribute income rather than retain it. Worth checking how ET's current yield compares with its own history, since a sharp recent rise more often reflects a falling price than a raised payment.

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 ET pays, and what that changes

ET pays quarterly, the standard schedule for US-listed payers, so the "per payment" column is one quarter of the annual figure and the "monthly average" column is a smoothed figure rather than a description of when cash arrives — nothing is paid in eight months of the year.

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. ET's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.

Is ET's dividend covered by earnings?

ET's payout ratio of 0.82 means about 82% of earnings are committed to the dividend. That is within earnings but a narrower margin than the sub-0.60 range generally considered comfortable, so a weaker year absorbs more of the cover.

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. ET has raised its payment in each of the last 4 years, which is a shorter record than the multi-decade streaks found among the longest-standing payers, and not yet long enough to have been tested across a full cycle.
