How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Consolidated Edison Investor?

If you want to make $100 per month – $1,200 annually – from Consolidated Edison dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $32,172, which is around 364 shares at $88.35 each.

Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When estimating, you need two key variables – the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.73% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0373 = $32,172 to generate an income of $100 per month.

You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the stock’s current price.

The dividend yield can change over time due to fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it?

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).

In summary, income-focused investors may find Consolidated Edison stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 364 shares of stock. There may be more upside as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Consolidated Edison has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 50 years.
