How can I make Break-Even Price show correct share cost, in the Investment View?

Gary

Reinvested Dividend transactions are sometimes showing N/A in the Investing tab's Break-Even Price column. How can I get Break-Even Price column to always show the cost per share for the reinvestment?

My reading of that parameter is that the lot needs to currently be a short-term holding.  Lots already at the long-term status would not have a break-even point.  That seems to be borne-out with your screenshot.

Having never heard of the Break-Even Price column (or field) in Quicken ...

"N/A" in investment fields always makes me think "Could a Placeholder transaction be causing this?"

Have you made sure that there are no placeholders lurking in your investment account registers?

About Placeholders (Quicken Windows)

"N/A" in certain fields of an investment transaction indicates that you have Placeholder transactions in your account that need to be deleted and replaced with the correct Buy / Sell / etc. transaction that should have been recorded here.
For more about Placeholders please go into Quicken Help (press the F1 key from anywhere in Quicken) and perform a Contents search for "placeholder".
Alternatively or in addition to the above, read the first few articles found here: https://www.quicken.com/support/search/placeholder
