How much Fox stock would an investor need to yield $500 per month?

We'll start with the monthly $500 target, which translates to $6,000 per year ($500 x 12 months).

Next, we’ll divide the $6,000 by Fox's 1.51% dividend yield: $6,000 / 0.0151 = $397,351.

So, an investor looking to earn $500 a month from the stock would need $397,351, or 11,990 shares.

For a more modest $100 per month, you’d need $79,470, or 2,398 shares.

Note that 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 price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. If the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).

Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).

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.
