Analysts expect the Springdale, Arkansas-based company to report quarterly earnings at 88 cents per share. That’s up from 69 cents per share in the year-ago period. Tyson Foods projects quarterly revenue of $13.46 billion, compared to $13.32 billion a year earlier, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
On Jan. 21, Barclays analyst Benjamin Theurer maintained Tyson Foods with an Overweight rating and lowered the price target from $76 to $75.
With the recent buzz around Tyson Foods, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company’s dividends too. Tyson Foods currently offers an annual dividend yield of 3.52% — or a quarterly dividend amount of 50 cents per share. That amounts to about $2.00 a year.
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Tyson Foods, start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Tyson’s $2.00 dividend: $6,000 / $2.00 = 3,000 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $170,280 worth of Tyson Foods, or 3,000 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $2.00 = 600 shares, or $34,056 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
