VALU 10-yr Total Return ($10,000 invested)
This analysis of VALU demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. The dividend reinvestment strategy delivered a 13.6% CAGR, representing strong long-term performance. While recent 5-year returns averaged 7.4% annually, the exceptional 10-year performance of 13.6% 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.
Total Return with and without DRIP (VALU)
Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in VALU would grow to $49,227 with DRIP (392.3%), and $42,687 without DRIP (326.9%).
VALU Dividend Reinvestment Snowball
Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in VALU with historic price growth (9.10%) and dividend growth (7.34%) 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 $14,471 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $2,350 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 $3,629, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.
After two decades, cumulative dividends total $38,137 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 112% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 14.55%.
At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $8,111 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $68,995.
By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $13,046, cumulative dividends total $119,043, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $605,447, compared with $383,890 if dividends weren’t reinvested.
How we estimate these numbers
We use the latest calculator inputs for VALU, price $37.10, dividend per period $0.33 (4x/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 9.10% and dividend growth 7.34% 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.
