Once you own the shares, it does not matter if share price changes…I think is your point?

0.5 shares of a $100 stock yielding 5% nets you the same dividend as 1 share of a $50 stock yielding 5%

Still confused...
Are you telling me that you would somehow get more out of a million dollars from KMI dividends than you would from MO?
MO is 64.41/share
Dividend is 6.58%
KMI is 33.10/share
Dividend is 3.53%

Make sense?
Share price is totally irrelevant.
Therefore, number of shares is also totally irrelevant.
Percentage yield is all that matters.

Div yield - yes!
And they matter.

Campbell's soup is at a 52 week low around 20. Dividend up over 7%.

Share price does not matter so why the $50 limit from the OP?

Div yield! Thats what matters.
It’s Friday! I’m retired. Blue sky where I am. I am people watching. Div yields doing their thing.
This place feels like algebraic road rage.

Yay! 100%
Next time…perhaps…just say that. Baiting an argument is for Mondays…not Fridays.
Div yields on weekends matter, too! Kidding.

I’m sure he’s asking what he can get the most shares for cheapest to maximize his dividend.
1 share of a $1million/share stock with a 10% dividend pays more than
1,000,000 shares of a $1/share stock with a 7% dividend.
Poor people think poor and do poor math.

WEN Wendy's has been dropping. Around $7 a share, they still pay a divy.

Some of these are close to 50 and pay a decent Div. All of these are in different industries so some diversity for the portfolio.

A lot of the food stocks are at lows.
CAG is around 15 with a 9% yield.
KHC is around 21 with a 7% yield.

I can’t think of any reason to chase expanding dividend yields on declining companies.

Share price absolutely matters if you want to spread the risk.
If you own 100 shares @ 45, and the dividend is $2.25, yeah, that's 5% return on your $4,500...$225
But what if they slash their dividend to .50? What's your yield now? About 1%.
If he buys three different stocks at $15, all paying 5%, and if one slashes their dividend but the other two don't, maybe he's still getting 3.5% on the total of all three.
This can absolutely happen. I was accumulating New York Community Bank because of it's 6% dividend and solid history of consistent dividend payments over several years. Then they started to buy other banks (Signature Bank), got too big too fast, and ended up having to slash their dividend from .17 per quarter, to .05 per quarter in January 2024, then .01 in March, 2024. Stock price tanked when they slashed the dividend the first time, and I got out before the second cut. Ultimately, NYCB did a 1-3 reverse stock split, rebranded themselves as Flagstar Bank, and today pays a dividend yield of only .33%.
If OP had invested $10,000 in NYCB back when the dividend was .68 a year, what would his yield be today, as opposed to if he had split that $10,000 between NYCB, Verizon, and Pfizer?

Not under $50 now but MO has always been consistent.

How is this not the best dividend stock to hold AGNC

Stocks under $50 that pay a dividend
Almost all retail brokers allow the purchase of fractional shares, completely obviating any theoretical need to find stocks under a certain $ price.
If the OP's doesn't, then he/she should find one that does and move over there. Picking stocks based on absolute price is insane.

Stick to the topic.
QQQ doesn't give out "qualified dividends". Or if it does, it is miniscule. Many need these qualified dividends for tax purposes.
