Dividends
I received three dividend payments this week.
Company | Ticker Symbol | Dividend Amount | Stock Buy Price | Annualized Div Yield |
John Deere | DE | $0.60 | $78.79 | 3.05% |
AT&T | T | $0.48 | $33.90 | 5.66% |
Verizon | VZ | $0.57 | $45.77 | 4.98% |
Total | $1.65 |
The annualized dividend yield = (Dividend Amount * 4) / Stock Buy Price.
The reason the dividend amount is multiplied by 4 is because these stocks pay dividends 4 times a year. So the yearly amount of dividends I'll receive divided by the cost of the stock equals the dividend yield.
I'm pretty happy with a 5.66% yield on the AT&T stock, and close to a 5.0% yield on the Verizon stock. These yield %'s have the opportunity to go up if one or two things happens.
1. I buy additional shares at the same price or less than what I bought the current stocks at.
2. The companies raise their dividends.
Stock Purchase
I did not buy any stocks this week.
