How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Colgate-Palmolive Investor?
If you want to make $100 per month – $1,200 annually – from Colgate-Palmolive dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $56,075, which is around 600 shares at $93.44 each.
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." Here’s how you can earn passive income with just $100.
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables – the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (2.14% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0214 = $56,075 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the stock’s current price.
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 Colgate-Palmolive stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 600 shares of stock. There may be more upside as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Colgate-Palmolive has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 62 years.
