This analysis of WING demonstrates the power of dividend reinvestment over a 10-year period with a $10,000 initial investment.

Dividend payments have grown from $0.3000 to $2.9000 per share, representing significant dividend expansion.

Milestones on the way

By year 13, the compounding really starts to show. Your total dividends collected reach $471 against a total investment of $25,600. At this point, your portfolio is throwing off $7 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, a powerful “income on autopilot” milestone.

After two decades, cumulative dividends total $498 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 $503.

By year 30, the DRIP snowball is in full force. Yearly income reaches $0, cumulative dividends total $504, and the DRIP portfolio value stands at $2,874,214, compared with $2,830,638 if dividends weren’t reinvested.

How we estimate these numbers

We use the latest calculator inputs for WING, price $155.63, dividend per period $0.30 (4x/year), along with historic growth assumptions: price growth 18.58% and dividend growth -20.30% 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 WING

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