Analysts expect the home improvement retailer to post earnings of $2.97 per share, up from $2.92 a year earlier, on revenue of $22.88 billion compared with $20.93 billion last year, according to Benzinga Pro. With growing attention on Lowe's stock, some investors remain focused on its dividend appeal. Lowe's currently offers an annual dividend yield of 2.20%, paying $1.20 per share quarterly, or $4.80 annually. Here's how much investors would need to invest in Lowe's to generate $500 in monthly dividend income. **To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $272,525 or around 1,250 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $54,505 or around 250 shares.** **To calculate:** Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($4.80 in this case). So, $6,000 / $4.80 = 1,250 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $4.80 = 250 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:** Compute the dividend yield 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. **LOW Price Action:** Shares of Lowe’s fell 0.2% to close at $218.02 on Monday. Ahead of the report, Stifel analyst W. Andrew Carter maintained a Hold rating on Lowe's shares Monday and lowered the price target from $270 to $220. _Photo via Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [LOW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LOW.US.md) - [RTH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RTH.US.md) - [ONLN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ONLN.US.md) - [XRT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XRT.US.md) - [IBUY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBUY.US.md) - [EBIZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EBIZ.US.md) - [SF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SF.US.md) - [SF-C.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SF-C.US.md) - [SFB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SFB.US.md) - [SF-B.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SF-B.US.md) - [SF-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SF-D.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Are Wall Street Analysts Bullish on Lowe's Stock?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286593388.md) - [Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Lowe's Companies Stock In The Last 15 Years](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286322956.md) - [Hartford Funds Management Co LLC Raises Stock Position in Lowe's Companies, Inc. $LOW](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286877689.md) - [Trek Financial LLC Buys 5,721 Shares of Lowe's Companies, Inc. $LOW](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286234210.md) - [Lowe’s Cos.
