Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares closed higher on Thursday as semiconductor stocks recorded gains following strong quarterly results from Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM).
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) did not intend to raise rates and is still open to lowering them before the year is out. The semiconductor industry, a high-growth sector, responded well to the news. Typically, investors are scared away from high-growth equities in high-interest rate environments.
Nvidia is scheduled to host a conference call on Wednesday, May 22, to discuss its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $5.55 per share on revenue of $24.49 billion.
With the recent buzz around Nvidia, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. As of now, Nvidia offers an annual dividend yield of 0.02%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 4 cents per share (16 cents 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 $32,181,375 or around 37,500 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $6,436,275 or around 7,500 shares.

To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($0.16 in this case). So, $6,000 / $0.16 = 37,500 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $0.16 = 7,500 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.

英伟达公司（纳斯达克股票代码：NVDA）股价周四收高，原因是高通公司（纳斯达克股票代码：QCOM）公布强劲的季度业绩后，半导体股上涨。
联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）本来不打算提高利率，并且仍然愿意在年底之前降低利率。半导体行业是一个高增长的行业，对这一消息反应良好。通常，投资者害怕在高利率环境中远离高增长股票。
英伟达计划于5月22日星期三举行电话会议，讨论其2025财年第一季度的财务业绩。
分析师预计，该公司公布的季度收益为每股5.55美元，收入为244.9亿美元。
随着最近围绕英伟达的热议，一些投资者可能也在关注该公司股息的潜在收益。截至目前，Nvidia提供的年股息收益率为0.02％，即每股4美分（每年16美分）的季度股息率。
那么，投资者如何利用其股息收益率每月定期赚取500美元呢？
要仅从股息中每月赚取500美元或每年6,000美元，您就需要投资约32,181,375美元或约37,500股股票。要想获得更温和的每月100美元或每年1200美元，则需要6,436,275美元或约7,500股股票。

计算方法：将所需的年收入（6,000美元或1200美元）除以股息（在本例中为0.16美元）。因此，6,000美元/0.16美元 = 37,500美元（每月500美元），1200美元/0.16美元 = 7,500股（每月100美元）。
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。
运作方式：股息收益率的计算方法是将年度股息支付除以股票的当前价格。
例如，如果一只股票支付的年度股息为2美元，而目前的定价为50美元，则股息收益率将为4％（2美元/50美元）。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）。相反，如果股价跌至40美元，则股息收益率将升至5％（2美元/40美元）。
同样，股息支付的变化也会影响收益率。如果一家公司增加股息，只要股价保持不变，收益率也会增加。相反，如果股息支付减少，收益率也会减少。
NVDA价格走势：周四，英伟达股价上涨3.3％，收于858.17美元。
