Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings of $1.70 per share. That’s down from $2.39 per share in the year-ago period. The consensus estimate for Carter’s quarterly revenue is $922.87 million (it reported $859.71 million last year), according to Benzinga Pro. UBS analyst Jay Sole, as of Feb. 19, maintains a Neutral rating and raised the price target from $33 to $40.
Carter’s investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company’s dividends. The retailer has an annual dividend yield of 2.39%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 25 cents per share ($1.00 a year).
How Can Investors Pocket A Regular $500 Monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $251,520 or around 6,000 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $50,304 or around 1,200 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.00 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.00 = 6,000 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.00 = 1,200 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.
