despite the recent volatility in regional bank stocks some are still worth considering for their attractive valuation and dividend yield keycorp key for instance caught the attention of analysts including citigroup and da davidson who rate the stock as a buy morning stars eric compton an analyst covering keycorp recently updated his projections for the bank and reaffirmed his 21 fair value estimate while the bank is facing some earnings pressure compton believes it is manageable and that the market may have overreacted in pricing in the risks in his view keycorps shares remain materially undervalued and offer an attractive investment opportunity keycorps current dividend yield is around 7 which is higher than the average for the sp 500 index read also how are regional banks doing in a postapocalyptic we mean postsilicon valley bank world so how much keycorp would an investor need to own to yield say 100 per month in dividends for an investor interested in knowing how much stock they’d need to own to yield 100 per month they would have to multiply 100 by 12 for each month in the year with 1200 being the result the investor would then divide 1200 by keycorp’s dividend yield which is 736 it would look something like this 120000736 with that being said an investor would need to own 16304 or 1457 shares of keycorp to yield 100 per month in dividends and with the stock being down 36 year to date there is potential for upside in the shares as well additionally if the investor wanted to yield 200 per month in keycorp dividends they would need to own 32608 or 2914 shares though it should be known that the dividend yield can change on a rolling basis as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time 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 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 333 260 conversely if the stock price decreases to 40 the dividend yield would increase to 5 240 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 read next exclusive was michael burry actually wrong when he advised to sell benzinga premarketprep opinions
