How To Earn $500 A Month From H&R Block Stock Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE:HRB) investors may be eyeing potential gains from company dividends ahead of first-quarter earnings on Monday, Nov. 9.

After the closing bell, analysts expect H&R Block to report a quarterly loss of $1.43 per share, versus a loss of $1.20 per share in the year-ago period. The consensus estimate for H&R Block’s quarterly revenue is $212.28 million. It reported $203.55 million last year, according to Benzinga Pro.

On Aug. 11, H&R Block reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results and issued strong FY26 guidance.

Currently, H&R Block has an annual dividend yield of 3.49%. It has a quarterly dividend of 46 cents per share ($1.84 a year).

To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from HRB, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).

Next, we divide that amount by HRB’s $1.84 dividend: $6,000 / $1.84 = 3,261 shares.

So, an investor would need to own approximately $171,822 worth of H&R Block, or 3,261 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 / $1.84 = 652 shares, or $34,354 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.
