With the current buzz round Dell, some traders could also be eyeing potential positive aspects from the corporate’s dividends. At present, Dell gives an annual dividend yield of 1.58%, which is a quarterly dividend quantity of 53 cents per share ($2.10 a yr).
To earn $500 month-to-month from Dell, begin with the yearly goal of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Subsequent, we take this quantity and divide it by Dell’s $2.10 dividend: $6,000 / $2.10 = 2,857 shares.
So, an investor would wish to personal roughly $378,553 value of Dell, or 2,857 shares to generate a month-to-month dividend revenue of $500.

Notice that dividend yield can change on a rolling foundation, because the dividend cost and the inventory worth each fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend cost by the present inventory worth. Because the inventory worth adjustments, the dividend yield may even change.
For instance, if a inventory pays an annual dividend of $2 and its present worth is $50, its dividend yield could be 4%. Nonetheless, if the inventory worth will increase to $60, the dividend yield would lower to three.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the inventory worth decreases to $40, the dividend yield would enhance to five% ($2/$40).
Additional, the dividend cost itself may also change over time, which might additionally affect the dividend yield.
