隨着最近關於微軟的熱議，一些投資者可能也在關注該公司分紅派息的潛在收益。目前，微軟提供的年分紅收益率爲0.76%，即每股季度股息爲83美分（每年3.32美元）。
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
那麼，投資者如何利用其分紅收益率來每月獲得500美元的穩定收入呢？
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $789,713 or around 1,807 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $157,768 or around 361 shares.
要從分紅派息中每月獲得500美元或每年6,000美元的收入，您需要大約789,713美元的投資或約1,807股。要想每月獲得100美元或每年1,200美元的更 modest 收入，您需要157,768美元或約361股。
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.32 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.32 = 1,807 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.32 = 361 shares ($100 per month).
計算方法：將期望的年收入（6,000美元或1,200美元）除以股息（在這種情況下爲3.32美元）。因此，6,000美元 / 3.32美元 = 1,807（每月500美元），而1,200美元 / 3.32美元 = 361股（每月100美元）。
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
請注意，分紅收益率會不斷變化，因爲分紅支付和股票價格會隨時間波動。
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock's current price.
收益率的計算方法是將年度股息支付額除以股票當前價格。
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).
例如，如果一隻股票的年度股息爲2美元，而當前價格爲50美元，則股息收益率爲4%（$2/$50）。然而，如果股票價格上漲到60美元，股息收益率降至3.33%（$2/$60）。相反，如果股票價格下跌到40美元，股息收益率則上升至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.
同樣，股息支付的變化會影響收益率。如果一家公司增加股息，收益率也會增加，前提是股票價格保持不變。相反，如果股息支付減少，收益率也會隨之降低。
