ITW 10-yr Total Return ($10,000 invested)

This analysis of ITW demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. The dividend reinvestment strategy delivered a 13.7% CAGR, representing strong long-term performance. While recent 5-year returns averaged 8.1% annually, the exceptional 10-year performance of 13.7% demonstrates sustained long-term growth. The DRIP strategy provided 19% more total return compared to collecting dividends as cash, highlighting the compounding effect of reinvestment.

With DRIP No DRIP

Total Return with and without DRIP (ITW)

Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in ITW would grow to $45,163 with DRIP (351.6%), and $40,556 without DRIP (305.6%).

ITW Dividend Reinvestment Snowball

Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in ITW with historic price growth (11.23%) and dividend growth (11.34%) produces dramatically different outcomes depending on whether you reinvest dividends.

Milestones on the way

By year 13, the compounding really starts to show. Your total dividends collected reach $9,665 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $1,788 per year in dividends alone.

By year 17, the annual dividend climbs to around your initial contribution. For a starting investment of $10,000, the yearly dividend now sits at approximately $3,086, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.

After two decades, cumulative dividends total $29,433 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 87% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 13.51%.

At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $8,800 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $60,030.

By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $16,716, cumulative dividends total $118,327, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $827,905, compared with $590,178 if dividends weren’t reinvested.

How we estimate these numbers

We use the latest calculator inputs for ITW, price $246.56, dividend per period $1.61 (3×/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 11.23% and dividend growth 11.34% annually.

We simulate month by month for 30 years. Every month, a $100 contribution is added and converted to shares at that month’s price. Dividends are paid roughly evenly across the year based on the dividend frequency; in the DRIP path, each payout immediately buys additional shares at the then-current price. In the No‑DRIP path, dividends accrue as cash. Prices grow using a monthly rate derived from the annual price growth. Dividends per share increase once per year at the annual dividend growth rate.

This model isn’t investment advice; it’s a simple, transparent framework that illustrates how reinvesting dividends can accelerate both income and total return over time.

Projected Future Returns & Dividends for ITW

Based on past 10-year performance, here are ITW growth metrics:

Share price CAGR of +10.35%
Dividend CAGR of +11.79%

Using ITW CAGR metrics, we can estimate that your initial $10,000 investment, over the next 10 years, should grow as follows:
