Colgate-Palmolive (CL) has paid quarterly dividends since 1895 and has raised its annual dividend for 63 consecutive years, which makes it a “Dividend King.” On Sept. 17, the company declared its next quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share, payable Nov. 13 to holders of record as of Oct. 20, so investors must buy by Oct. 19 to qualify. Annualized, the payout is $2.12 per share, so about 472 shares would generate roughly $1,000.64 in yearly dividends. At the $91.61 share price cited when the article was written, those 472 shares would cost about $43,240, a forward dividend yield of around 2.3%. The dividend has grown about 3.2% a year on average over the past decade.

- Costco Will Pay a $1.47 Dividend on Nov. 13 -- Here's Whether It Makes More Sense to Use a Dividend Reinvestment Program or Keep the Income
Costco will pay a $1.47-per-share dividend on November 13 to shareholders of record at the October 30 close, and holders can take it as cash or reinvest it through a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP). The article says a DRIP suits investors with many shares and many working years ahead, since reinvested dividends can compound, noting Costco shares rose 117% over five years versus 72.6% for the S&P 500. Taking the income may suit those near retirement or with small stakes, such as a holder of 20 shares who would receive $29.40. With Costco closing at $982 on October 14, the article argues that reinvesting such a small amount buys only fractional shares and may be less meaningful than keeping the cash or investing it in a lower-priced stock.
- Here's How Many Shares of AbbVie You'd Need for $5,000 in Yearly Dividends
The author, who holds 6.2% of their portfolio in AbbVie (ABBV), considers it a favorite long-term dividend stock after 53 consecutive years of dividend increases, and reports an unrealized gain of nearly 200% on a position started in early 2020. AbbVie's forward yield of 2.4% is low compared with the 10-Year Treasury's 5.1%, and earning $5,000 a year in dividends would require 723 shares, worth about $206,358. The same investment in Pfizer (PFE) would generate nearly $12,000 in annual dividends. Over the past three years, AbbVie shares rose 93% after it overcame the loss of U.S. exclusivity for Humira, while Pfizer shares fell 8% as COVID-19 vaccine sales faded and other major drugs faced patent cliffs. The article concludes AbbVie could still suit long-term income investors despite its modest yield.
- How Many Shares Would It Take to Earn $1,000 a Year From This Future Dividend King?
Medtronic has raised its quarterly dividend for 49 consecutive years, one year short of Dividend King status, which requires 50 years. At an annualized dividend of $2.88 per share, roughly 348 shares, costing about $32,792, would generate $1,002.24 in annual dividend income, a yield of around 3%. Recent dividend increases have been modest, at 1.4% this year and an average of 2% over three years. The spinoff of MiniMed, its lower-margin diabetes business, completed via an exchange offer this week, lets Medtronic focus on its higher-margin cardiovascular, neuroscience and surgical businesses. Analysts estimate earnings growth of 8.1% and 7.1% for the fiscal years ending January 2027 and January 2028, and with a 48% forward payout ratio, that could support larger dividend increases.
- I Just Bought More Realty Income (O) Stock. Here's How Many Shares It Takes to Collect $1,000 a Month.
The author bought six more Realty Income (O) shares, bringing the holding to 113, and calculates that about 3,583 shares would be needed to earn roughly $1,000 in monthly dividends, a position worth over $206,250 at the recent $56 share price. Realty Income currently pays $0.2715 per share each month, its 676th consecutive monthly dividend over more than 56 years, with a recent yield of about 5.8%. The author points to the REIT's diversified portfolio of long-term net-leased properties, its A-rated balance sheet and nearly $1 billion in annual adjusted free cash flow as support for the dividend. He treats it as a core income holding to anchor his retirement, while acknowledging he will probably never reach $1,000 a month from this stock alone.
- Tesla Just Launched the Cybercab in Austin. Here's How Many People Can Actually Hail One.
Tesla launched the Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel, accelerator, or brake pedal, for commercial service in Austin on September 4. As of October 10, Tesla had 739 autonomous vehicles registered in Texas, including 420 Model Y and 319 Cybercabs, up sharply from 420 vehicles (45 Cybercabs) on September 4. According to RobotaxiTracker, 277 vehicles are actually in service in Austin, including 107 Cybercabs, a fleet in the same range as Waymo's more than 300 vehicles. Cybercabs make up 39% of the registered fleet but only about 11% of the 531 reported rides. Tesla's service runs from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., while Waymo operates 24/7 through the Uber app, and the article says the key metrics to watch are in-service vehicles and actual rides.

- Tesla Stock vs. the S&P 500: Which Investment Wins Through 2030?
The article argues Tesla trades at roughly 203 times this year's expected earnings and 13 times expected sales, a valuation that looks very expensive given gross margin pressure and a slower-than-expected robotaxi rollout. The flying Roadster, slated for production in 2028, is unlikely to make a meaningful sales or earnings contribution before 2030. The author thinks a Tesla-SpaceX merger by the end of the decade, likely an all-stock deal, is more likely than not and would be a key factor in how Tesla stock performs against the S&P 500 through 2030.
- SpaceX surprises Wall Street with Oct. 20 earnings date — here's why
SpaceX (SPCX) will release earnings on Oct. 20 after the market close, a surprise since earnings dates are usually shared weeks in advance. Evercore ISI analyst Kutgun Maral says possible reasons include putting updated financials on record before new financing or getting ahead of major lock-up releases, though scheduling is also possible. Reuters reported SpaceX is seeking $40 billion in financing to buy advanced Nvidia AI chips, including about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt, with Apollo expected to lead. The lock-up schedule includes 1.30 billion shares two days after earnings, 329 million on 10/24, and a remaining 857 million tranche of the 180-day group.
- AEP Partners with Amazon and X-energy to Explore Advanced Nuclear Energy in Indiana
American Electric Power (AEP) has announced a joint development agreement with X-energy to evaluate the feasibility of a 960-megawatt advanced nuclear project at a former coal plant site in Sullivan County, Indiana. Amazon is supporting development through a funding agreement. If the project reaches a final investment decision and is built, Amazon intends to buy the power under a long-term contract covering the facility's costs and operations. The initial project would include 12 Xe-100 units of 80 MW each, and the companies say it could create jobs, expand the local tax base and strengthen the grid for more than 60 years. AEP says the agreements include the financial safeguards it considers essential for any nuclear project to move forward.
