What about the dividend yield? To determine how much Medical Properties stock an investor would need to own in order to yield $500 per month in dividends, we can start by calculating the annual dividend income required: $500 x 12 months = $6,000.
那股息收益率呢？要确定投资者需要拥有多少Medical Properties股票才能每月产生500美元的股息，我们可以先计算所需的年度股息收入：500美元x12个月=6,000美元。
Next, divide the amount by the 13.72% dividend yield: $6,000 / 0.1372 = $43,731.77.
接下来，将该金额除以13.72％的股息收益率：6,000美元/0.1372 = 43,731.77美元。
This means that an investor would need to own approximately $43,731.77 worth of Medical Properties stock, or 5,769 shares, to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
请注意，股息收益率可能会滚动变化，因为股息支付和股票价格都会随着时间的推移而波动。
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.
股息收益率的计算方法是将年度股息支付额除以当前股价。随着股价的变化，股息收益率也将发生变化。
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).
例如，如果一只股票的年度股息为2美元，其当前价格为50美元，则其股息收益率将为4％。但是，如果股价上涨至60美元，股息收益率将降至3.33％（2美元/60美元）。
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
相反，如果股价跌至40美元，股息收益率将增加到5％（2美元/40美元）。
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.
