Project a dividend reinvestment plan share by share, including share count growth.
Reinvestment compounds the share count at the dividend yield, independently of price growth. A 5% yield reinvested for twenty years more than doubles the number of shares held. Because dividends buy more shares when prices are low, a DRIP quietly averages in and accelerates accumulation during downturns.
