How To Earn $500 A Month From GE Aerospace Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

by | Jan 21, 2026 | General

GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) will release earnings for the fourth quarter before the opening bell on Thursday, Jan. 22.

Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter earnings of $1.43 per share. That’s up from $1.32 per share in the year-ago period. The consensus estimate for GE Aerospace’s quarterly revenue is $11.21 billion (it reported $9.88 billion last year), according to Benzinga Pro.

With the recent buzz around GE Aerospace, some investors may be eyeing potential dividend gains. As of now, GE Aerospace has an annual dividend yield of 0.46% with a quarterly dividend amount of 36 cents per share ($1.44 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 $1,301,521 or around 4,167 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $260,179 or around 833 shares.

To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.44 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.44 = 4,167 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.44 = 833 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: Divide 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.

GE Price Action: Shares of GE Aerospace fell by 3.9% to close at $312.34 on Tuesday.

Ahead of quarterly earnings, UBS analyst Gavin Parsons, on Jan. 15, maintained GE Aerospace with a Buy and raised the price target from $366 to $368.
