How To Earn $500 A Month From Jabil Stock Following Q1 Earnings

Jabil Inc. (NYSE:JBL), last week, posted stronger-than-expected fiscal first-quarter 2026 results and raised its full-year outlook. On Dec. 17, the company reported quarterly adjusted earnings per share of $2.85, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.70. Quarterly net revenue of $8.31 billion, up by 18.7% year-over-year (Y/Y). It outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $8.09 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The company projects fiscal 2026 net revenue of $32.400 billion (up from prior forecast of $31.30 billion) compared to analyst consensus of $31.523 billion and adjusted EPS of $11.55 (up from previous guidance $11.00) versus consensus estimate of $11.11. With the recent buzz around Jabil, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. Jabil currently has an annual dividend yield of 0.14%, or a quarterly dividend amount of 8 cents per share (32 cents a year). To determine how to earn $500 per month from Jabil, we start with the annual target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months). Next, we take this amount and divide it by Jabil's $0.32 dividend: $6,000 / $0.32 = 18,750 shares. So, an investor would need to own approximately $4,308,375 worth of Jabil, or 18,750 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 / $0.32 = 3,750 shares, or $861,675 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.

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. JBL Price Action: Shares of Jabil gained by 1.4% to close at $229.78 on Monday.
