Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at 72 cents per share, down from 80 cents per share in the year-ago period. Campbell’s projects quarterly revenue of $2.74 billion, compared to $2.46 billion a year earlier, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
On Jan. 22, The Campbell’s Company named Risa Cretella as executive vice President and president, Meals & Beverages.
With the recent buzz around Campbell’s, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company’s dividends too. As of now, Campbell’s offers an annual dividend yield of 3.78%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 39 cents per share ($1.56 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $158,801 or around 3,846 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $31,752 or around 769 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.56 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.56 = 3,846 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.56 = 769 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock’s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
