No, you dont get more per share, you just get more shares. Also, the stock price doesnt matter. Google that sentence and you will find out why. All of this is basic arithmetic, and you got it wrong twice. Solid advice here: you are not ready to invest in individual stocks. Find a youtube channel and start with investing 101. Learn and practice with a simulated portfolio for about a year.

What does the share price have to do with anything?
nothing when wanting dividends. all about dividend PER SHARE. more shares=more $$
now maybe he wants capital gains.
I think he is confused.

Well lets see if its a good company that maybe down because of the virus i can get say double the amount of shares thus
getting more from the dividend per share. With the chance of making more money off the stock when it comes back up after this is over. i do believe that is my goal

see my post above. more shares does not increase the annual dividend per share rate. 1 share or 100k shares does not change the dividend per share rate. The fact you have more shares is what gets you more $$$$$
you want yield. annual dividend per share divided by stock price per share= annual dividend yield

So owning 1000 shares of a good company that pays a dividend per share is not better than owning 100 shares of that same company? do i not get more for the dividend per year by owning the 1000 shares? that's all i'm asking? never said i was an expert but i'm learning

If I were you I would consider SCHD or VYM or both. Both good dividend ETFs holding numerous companies, then you don't have to keep an eye on individual stocks and worry about single stock risk. Both should be yielding right around 4% as of Friday pricing. Much better diversification and both target higher yielding companies than the broad market. If a company eliminates its dividend it gets dropped and replaced with a "new" holding. HDV is another ETF that pays higher dividends than the two mentioned, but holds lesser quality companies.

Thank you for this.

I think what people are trying to say is that stock "price" has little to do with dividend yield.
For instance CAT trades at $116 and pays a $4.12/share dividend, which is 3.54%.
Intel trades at $60.36 and pays a $1.32/share dividend, which is 2.17%.
If you owned 1 share of CAT vs 2 shares of Intel you are still making $1.48 more for your money even though you own more shares of Intel.
You shouldn't care so much about price if yield is what you are after.

If company A, a $1000/share company, pays a 10% dividend they payout $100. So if you invest $1000 in company A you get 1 share and $100 in dividends
If company B, a $100/share company, pays a 10% dividend they payout $10. If you invest $1000 in company B you get 10 shares and $10x10shares = $100 in dividends
If you notice, for $1000 invested both companies paid out the same $100 amount in dividends

What if company B pays 15% dividend
Posted on 4/18/20 at 7:58 pm to jralspanky
Then company b has a 15% dividend. And company a still has a 10% dividend. Price per share is irrelevent.

you are welcome.

The problem is that you can't trust the dividends. BODs can reduce or eliminate them at their whim. And financial pressure stimulates said whim.
The best case is the old companies that have always paid a dividend - like the consumer staples. But that's in the 2-3% range. Yes XOM has always paid a dividend too and that yield is enticing, but can you trust it?
