If you want to earn $100 a month – $1,200 a year – in Coca-Cola dividends, your investment value would need to be about $39,867, which amounts to about 619 shares at $64.43 each.
Understanding dividend yield calculations: When estimating, you need two important variables: the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (in this case 3.01%). So $1,200 / 0.0301 = $39,867 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current share price.
The dividend yield can change over time due to fluctuating stock prices and evolving dividend payments.

For example, suppose a stock that pays out $2 in annual dividends is worth $50. The 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 the stock price to $40 will have the opposite effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-oriented investors may find Coca-Cola shares attractive because they generate a stable income of $100 per month by owning 619 shares. There may be more upside potential as investors benefit from the company’s consistent dividend increases. Coca-Cola has increased its dividend consecutively for the past 62 years.
