Calculating Investments for Desired Dividend Income
To consistently earn $500 monthly from dividends, you'd need to invest around $193,548 based on Coca-Cola's current dividend yield of 3.1%. This calculation comes from dividing your annual dividend goal ($6,000) by the yield percentage. For a smaller goal of $200 monthly, the investment would be around $77,419.
Understanding Dividend Yield Changes
Let's see how dividend yield changes with stock prices in a simple example. Imagine a stock that consistently pays an annual dividend of $4. Initially priced at $100, the dividend yield is 4% ($4 divided by $100). If the stock price rises to $120 while the dividend stays at $4, the yield decreases to about 3.33% ($4 divided by $120). If the stock price drops to $80, the yield increases to 5% ($4 divided by $80). This shows the relationship between dividend yield and stock prices, assuming the dividend amount stays the same."
