Higher Share Price and DRIPOne of the benefits of the higher share price is reduced dilution due to the DRIP. I'm not a fan of DRIP's for securities with a high yield due to the dilutive effect of issuing large numbers of shares to pay the dividend. Especially if the reason for the DRIP is to pay a dividend because the company doesn't have sufficient cash. This can be a death spiral to oblivion.
Now that the share price is above $24 there will be fewer DRIP shares issued monthly than when the share price was $16 to $18.
