ASH 10-yr Total Return ($10,000 invested)
This analysis of ASH demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. The dividend reinvestment strategy delivered a 1.8% CAGR, representing modest long-term performance. The DRIP strategy provided 22% more total return compared to collecting dividends as cash, highlighting the compounding effect of reinvestment.
Total Return with and without DRIP (ASH)
Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in ASH would grow to $14,064 with DRIP (40.6%), and $14,379 without DRIP (43.8%).
ASH Dividend Reinvestment Snowball
Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in ASH with historic price growth (-0.57%) and dividend growth (8.08%) 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 $20,070 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $4,408 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 $10,313, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.
After two decades, cumulative dividends total $88,826 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 261% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 62.56%.
At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $92,284 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $308,262.
By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $658,232, cumulative dividends total $1,573,951, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $1,587,719, compared with $183,010 if dividends weren’t reinvested.
How we estimate these numbers
We use the latest calculator inputs for ASH, price $48.94, dividend per period $0.42 (4×/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth -0.57% and dividend growth 8.08% 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.
