How Can Investors Earn at Least $500 From UNM? 

To make $500 per month and at least $6,000 per year from UNM stock, you would need to buy 4,209 shares or invest at least $117,614 at the price on Dec. 5, 2023.

But if you are considering a lower investment of $100 per month and $1,200 annually, you would need an investment of $35,502 or 841 shares. 

To calculate:

Divide your desired annual profit ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend yield (0.034 for UNM) 

For instance: $6,000/0.034= $176,470 annual investment (approximately $14,705 monthly)

$1,200/0.034 = $35,294 annual investment ($2,941 monthly) 

You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock’s existing price. 

For example: 

If UNM stock ($42 in early December 2023) pays an annual dividend of $1.43 per stock, the dividend yield would be 3.4% ($1.43/$42). If the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 2.38% ($1.43/$60). If the price is reduced to $35, the dividend yield rises to 4% ($1.43/$35). 

Hikes or reductions in annual dividends can affect yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield increases even if the stock price stays the same. If the dividend payment decreases, the yield drops.
