How Can You Earn $1,000 Per Month As An FIS Investor?
If you want to earn $1,000 per month, or $12,000 a year, from Fidelity National dividends, you must invest close to $318,302. At $57.86 a share, this translates to holding about 5,502 shares. If you reduce your earnings target to $200 per month, the investment value is $63,660 or 1,101 shares.
Using dividend yields to calculate the investment value: Your investment value estimate can be calculated with two key variables. First is your desired annual income of $12,000 or $2,400 and the second is the dividend yield of of the stock — 3.77% in this case. The dividend yield is a percentage calculated by dividing the annual dividend payments by the market price of a stock.
To earn $1,000 per month, your investment is about $318,302 ($12,000 / 0.0377) and $63,660 ($2,400 / 0.0377) if you opt for a moderate $200 monthly income.
When estimating your investment value, it is important to note that the dividend yield can change over time. This change is because of the fluctuations in stock prices and the dividend payments on a rolling basis. These estimations do not consider the capital appreciation of a stock. If those are not factored into the capital appreciation, the dividend value and the yield are positively correlated.
Understanding the yield calculations with an example: Assume a stock paying $2 as an annual dividend is trading at $50. The dividend yield would be $2 / $50 or 4%. When the stock price jumps to $60, the dividend yield drops to $2 / $60 or 3.33%. If the stock price falls to $40, this will trigger an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2 / $40). As fluctuations in stock price impact the yield, changes in the company's dividend policies also affect the yield.
