CTAS 10-yr Total Return ($10,000 invested)
This analysis of CTAS demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment. The dividend reinvestment strategy delivered a 26.0% CAGR, representing exceptional long-term performance. While recent 5-year returns averaged 19.1% annually, the exceptional 10-year performance of 26.0% demonstrates sustained long-term growth. The DRIP strategy provided 17% more total return compared to collecting dividends as cash, highlighting the compounding effect of reinvestment.
Total Return with and without DRIP (CTAS)
Over the selected period, investing $10,000 in CTAS would grow to $88,398 with DRIP (784.0%), and $83,386 without DRIP (733.9%).
CTAS Dividend Reinvestment Snowball
Investing $10,000 + $100/mo in CTAS with historic price growth (23.17%) and dividend growth (3.07%) 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 $2,208 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $232 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 $266, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.
After two decades, cumulative dividends total $4,016 versus $34,000 invested, nearly a 12% recovery of capital purely from income. Yield on cost reaches 0.86%.
At year 25, the income engine takes over. The portfolio’s annual dividend of $343 is greater than total contributions to date ($40,000), and cumulative dividends exceed $5,579.
By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $399, cumulative dividends total $7,402, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $8,571,731, compared with $8,205,711 if dividends weren’t reinvested.
How we estimate these numbers
We use the latest calculator inputs for CTAS, price $184.60, dividend per period $0.45 (4x/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 23.17% and dividend growth 3.07% 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.
