calculate stock price with dividend
1 If the stock price next quarter is still $40 per share, the dividend buys you 62.5% of one share. That might not seem like a lot, but it adds up over time.  The higher the stock price goes, the lower the current yield. For example, if the stock prices rises to $55 per share, that $1 per share is reduced to 1.8% ($1 Ã· $55 = 1.8%). However, you should calculate your yield based on the price per share that you paid when you bought stock, and not on what it becomes later.
