What to Expect from Zions Bancorp's Earnings

<p><strong>Zions Bancorporation, National Association</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>) will release its first-quarter earnings results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZION/earnings">before the opening bell on Monday, April 21.</a></p>
<p>Analysts expect the Salt Lake City, Utah-based company to report quarterly earnings at $1.18 per share, up from 96 cents per share in the year-ago period. Zions Bancorporation projects to report quarterly revenue at $794.82 million, compared to $752 million a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>
<p>On March 28, Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo maintained Zions Bancorp with an Equal-Weight rating and lowered the price target from $62 to $58.</p>
<p>With the recent buzz around Zions Bancorporation, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. Currently, Zions Bancorporation offers an annual dividend yield of 3.97%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of 43 cents per share ($1.72 a year).  </p>
<p>So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?</p>
<p><strong>To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $151,240 or around 3,488 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $30,265 or around 698 shares.</strong></p>
<p><strong>To calculate: </strong>Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.72 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.72 = 3,488 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.72 = 698 shares ($100 per month).</p>
<p>Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.</p>
<p><strong>How that works:</strong> The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.</p>
<p>For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).</p>
<p>Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.</p>
<p><strong>ZION Price Action:</strong> Shares of Zions Bancorporation fell 1% to close at $43.36 on Wednesday.</p>
