Own Costco Stock by Oct. 30 to Qualify for Its Nov. 13 Dividend. Here's How Many Shares You'd Need for $1,000 in Yearly Dividends.

Costco will pay a dividend of $1.47 per share on Nov. 13 to shareholders of record as of Oct. 30. An investor would need approximately 170 shares (worth ~$173,000) to generate $1,000 in annual dividends. While Costco's dividend yield is modest at 0.5%, the stock offers multiple return drivers including stock price appreciation (up 108% over five years), special dividends, and quarterly dividends, making it a worthwhile long-term investment despite its high valuation.

Axe note: Costco’s modest yield masks solid total returns from expansion and dividends.
