27% profit every 20 days?

Compounding Returns
In a world obsessed with price movements of stocks, it's easy to lose sight of what those prices represent -- the value of holding a company's future profit potential. One of the key ways that profit potential turns into profit actualization in an investor's pocket is the dividend -- cash (usually) payments made to stockholders representing a portion of a company's retained earnings. Retained earnings is found under the shareholder's equity portion of the balance sheet and represents the amount of earnings a company has left over after paying dividends to its shareholders.

Before further discussion of why dividends can be impactful in the long-term, here's a plot showing how much of a difference reinvested dividends would make in one's five year holdings of NYSE:EME compared to holding the dividends as cash and regular price appreciation.
The following plot shows three values over a five-year period: 1) The value of a $100 investment in EME, with only price appreciation. 2) The value of a $100 investment in EME, without re-investment. 3) The value of a $100 investment in EME if dividends were immediately reinvested.4) The value of a $100 investment in NASDAQ:SPY if dividends were immediately reinvested.

A key thing to note is that dividends will be announced with an ex-date. This ex-date is the date on which one must be a holder of a share in order to receive the share's dividend. At the close of trading on that day, the effective value of each share may go down by the size of the dividend, because new purchasers will not hold the right to receive the dividend.
That said, once the market opens the next day, the stock price could rebound up beyond its previous close, or continue to lag behind its prior value. This uncertainty is simply due to general market forces that exist on any day of trading. For instance, the company's industry may be trading up due to some sort of positive news, completely offsetting buyers' lack of dividend rights...or, conversely, the company's industry may be trading down due to some sort of negative news.
Index ETFs' Reinvested Dividend Value Compared to EME's
Finally -- what's the point of all this? The key insight to take from this article is to note how much value simply looking at the price chart of EME's common stock misses if one's considering holding the stock for a long period of time.
