How To Earn $500 A Month From Accenture Stock Ahead Of Q3 Earnings
Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) will release earnings results for the third quarter, before the opening bell on Friday, June 20.
Analysts expect the Dublin-based company to report quarterly earnings at $3.32 per share, up from $3.13 per share in the year-ago period. According to data from Benzinga Pro, Accenture projects quarterly revenue at $17.3 billion, compared to $16.47 billion a year earlier.
On May 8, Accenture announced plans to acquire Japan-based Yumemi to accelerate the launch of innovative digital products and services.
With the recent buzz around Accenture, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. Currently, Accenture offers an annual dividend yield of 1.90% — a quarterly dividend amount of $1.48 per share ($5.92 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Accenture, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Accenture's $5.92 dividend: $6,000 / 5.92 = 5,769 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $316,398 worth of Accenture, or 1,014 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $5.92 = 203 shares, or $63,342 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.

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 current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, 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.

The housing market slump is getting worse
A longtime slump in the new housing sector is getting worse, according to new indicators. Why it matters: The broader economy held up during a "rolling recession" that hit the housing industry in recent years. That might not be the case this time if other sectors slow concurrently. Catch up quick: Builders broke ground on home construction in May at the slowest pace in five years. The issuance of building permits, an indicator of the appetite to build homes, also hit a five-year low. Sentiment among homebuilders dropped to the lowest level since 2022 in June. Lennar, one of the nation's biggest homebuilders, reported weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings, citing a soft housing market. State of play: Now the sector faces new Trump-era factors, including tariffs and deportations, that are holding back construction and limiting supply. Plus, in certain parts of the country, there is too much inventory compared to demand. Driving the news: Housing starts fell almost 10% last month to an annualized pace of 1.3 million, well below the rate that economists expected, the Commerce Department said Wednesday morning. Building permits also came in worse than expected, particularly for single-family homes. They dropped to an annualized rate of 898,000, nearly 3% below April. What they're saying: The National Association of Home Builders said sentiment among builders has only been lower than its June level twice since 2012. "Buyers are increasingly moving to the sidelines due to elevated mortgage rates and tariff and economic uncertainty," said Buddy Hughes, a North Carolina-based developer who chairs the NAHB, said in a statement Tuesday. The big picture: Softer demand is being met by higher building costs, including for labor and materials. The industry is heavily reliant on immigrant workers, who are being targeted for deportations by the Trump administration. Meanwhile, tariffs on steel and aluminum have doubled to 50%, except for U.K. imports of the materials. The Trump administration is considering higher tariffs on wood materials, including lumber. "New construction has slowed as builders have pulled back on production," Lennar co-CEO Stuart Miller said on an earnings call Tuesday.

Ford: We will match China's EVs on costs
A few details are emerging about Ford's affordable EV project, due in 2027. Why it matters: Ford, like other global automakers, is scrambling to make electric vehicles profitably and still compete with lower-cost Chinese brands. Catch up quick: In early 2024, Ford CEO Jim Farley revealed a small California-based "skunk works" team, led by a former Tesla engineer, to develop a low-cost EV platform. Since then, the project, now known as the Advanced Electric Vehicle Program, has grown to 500 team members with offices in three locations. Driving the news: Ford is keeping most details under wraps, but Lisa Drake, who leads Ford's EV industrial plan, shared a few nuggets during a "candid dinner discussion" with investors last week hosted by Bernstein's lead automotive analyst, Daniel Roeska. Zoom in: Ford's new EV platform will support up to eight body styles, she told the group, including trucks, crossovers, and possibly sedans. Ford has already said the first product will be a mid-sized pickup truck, but Roeska said he inferred from Drake's comments that it may resemble an electric Ranger. It will use prismatic LFP batteries, developed with China's CATL and produced in the U.S., to keep costs low. "With eight body styles and potential global applicability, it's intended to underpin Ford's EV strategy for much of the next decade," Roeska wrote. Behind the scenes:"Lisa Drake was explicit: Ford intends to match the cost structure of leading Chinese players. That means not just battery pricing, but full system cost from chassis and thermal systems to inverters and electronics," he wrote. Yes, but: Ford's EV math hinges on an estimated $700 million in federal tax credits the automaker is counting on to help offset the $3 billion cost of a new battery cell plant under construction in Michigan.
