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

This analysis of CCOI demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. Dividend payments have grown from $0.0200 to $0.3700 per share, representing significant dividend expansion.

With DRIP No DRIP

Total Return with and without DRIP (CCOI)

Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in CCOI would grow to $18,005 with DRIP (80.1%), and $21,423 without DRIP (114.2%).

CCOI Dividend Reinvestment Snowball

Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in CCOI with historic price growth (-5.18%) and dividend growth (-25.31%) 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 $201 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $3 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 $1, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.

After two decades, cumulative dividends total $212 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 1% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 0.00%.

At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $0 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $214.

By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $0, cumulative dividends total $215, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $20,031, compared with $20,187 if dividends weren’t reinvested.

How we estimate these numbers

We use the latest calculator inputs for CCOI, price $22.54, dividend per period $0.02 (4x/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth -5.18% and dividend growth -25.31% 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 CCOI
