Procter & Gamble currently pays a dividend yield of 2.96%. After 10 years, you'd have invested a total of $12,000 in this stock. Over that time, this company can bring in about $1,951 in cumulative income over a decade.
This is a rough calculation. And it excludes two key variables that make the estimate much more complex and unknown.
This exercise doesn't take into account dividend increases. Higher payouts can further boost returns. Procter & Gamble has raised its quarterly dividend for 70 straight years. In the past decade, the payout has grown by 63%.
And changes in the stock price also play a huge role. Each month, that $100 allocation can buy more or less shares depending on market fluctuations. But in the last 10 years, Procter & Gamble's stock has risen by 67% (as of Sept. 24). It's reasonable to assume that steady appreciation could continue.
At the end of the day, what matters for prospective investors is that they can earn a healthy income stream from this company.
