# How To Earn $500 A Month From Philip Morris Stock Ahead Of Q2 Earnings

**Philip Morris International Inc**‘s (NYSE:PM) investors may be eyeing potential gains from the tobacco company’s dividends ahead of its second-quarter earnings report on Wednesday, July 22.

Analysts expect quarterly earnings of $2.05 per share, up from $1.91 per share in the year-ago period. The consensus estimate for Philip Morris’ quarterly revenue is $10.64 billion. It reported $10.14 billion last year, according to Benzinga Pro.

Currently, Philip Morris has an annual dividend yield of 3.05% — a quarterly dividend of $1.47 per share ($5.88 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 $196,574 or around 1,020 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $39,315 or around 204 shares.**

### **To Calculate**

Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($5.88 in this case).

So, $6,000 / $5.88 = 1,020 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $5.88 = 204 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.

### **Price Action**

Shares of Philip Morris slipped 0.1% to close at $192.72 on Monday.

UBS analyst Faham Baig, on July 2, maintained Philip Morris with a Neutral and raised the price target from $168 to $182.
