Last week, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives slammed the ongoing "tariff game of poker" for fueling significant near-term uncertainty among tech companies, including Microsoft.

Ives said that despite President Donald Trump‘s 90-day pause on tariffs for certain countries, companies that are reliant on Chinese supply chains or cost inputs are still vulnerable.

Ives estimates that around 10% to 15%—possibly a conservative figure—of U.S. cloud and AI initiatives currently being tracked could be delayed or slowed during this period of heightened uncertainty. Microsoft is expected to be "front and center" of this economic climate, he adds.

How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Microsoft Investor?

If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Microsoft dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $137,931, which is around 355 shares at $388.45 each. 

Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (0.87% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0087 = $137,931 to generate an income of $100 per month.

You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.

The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).

In summary, income-focused investors may find Microsoft stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 355 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Microsoft has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 19 years.
