How Can You Earn $1,000 Per Month As A Lowe's Cos. Investor?
If your earnings target is $1,000 per month — $12,000 annually — from Lowe's dividends, you need to invest close to $625,000, which is 2,771 shares at $225.59 each. If you choose an earnings target of $200 per month, your investment value decreases to $125,000 or 554 shares.
Calculating an estimated value of investments with the help of dividend yields: To determine your estimated investment value, you will need two key parameters. The first is your annual earnings target — $12,000 or $2,400 — and the second is the dividend yield of a stock, which is 1.92% for Lowe's. So, $12,000 / 0.0192 = $625,000 for generating earnings of $1,000 per month, and $2,400 / 0.0192 = $125,000 for $200 per month.
To calculate the dividend yield of a stock, divide its annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock. The dividend yield of a stock tends to change on a rolling basis. This is because of the fluctuations in the market price of the stock as well as the company's dividend policies over time.
These calculations have not considered the appreciation of a stock. If those are not factored into the capital appreciation, the dividend value and its yield are positively correlated.
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).
Disclaimer: This calculation is according to the price per share on Dec. 15 using an annualized dividend. The price of Lowe's Co. stock at the end of the extended trading hours of Dec 20 was $222.03
