How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As An AGNC Investor?

If you want to make $100 per month –$1,200 annually – from AGNC Investment dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $8,571, which is 831 shares at $10.31 each. 

Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When estimating, you need two key variables – desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (14%). So, $1,200 / 0.14 = $8,571 to generate an income of $100 per month.

You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the stock’s current price.

The dividend yield can change over time due to fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).

In summary, income-focused investors may find AGNC Investment stock an attractive option for earning a steady $100 per month by owning 831 shares of stock.

Better Yields Than Some REITs?

The current interest rate environment has created an incredible opportunity for income-seeking investors to earn massive yields, but not through publicly-traded REITs.

Arrived Homes, the Jeff Bezos-backed investment platform, has launched its Private Credit Fund, which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with a target 7% to 9% net annual yield paid to investors monthly. It paid 8.1% in July. The best part? Unlike other private credit funds, this one has a minimum investment of only $100.
