Welltower Earnings Review: Q3 Summary

Shares of Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) settled higher on Wednesday after Donald Trump won the election <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41780976/chip-stocks-like-nvidia-broadcom-taiwan-semi-gain-after-trump-win-whats-going-on">to become the 47th U.S. president.</a>
The Biden administration imposed an artificial intelligence technology embargo on China, restricting the country's access to sophisticated AI chips from Nvidia, citing national security threats.
With the recent buzz around Nvidia ahead of quarterly earnings, some investors may also be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. As of now, Nvidia offers an annual dividend yield of 0.03%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of 1 cent per share (4 cents a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Nvidia, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Nvidia's 4 cent dividend: $6,000 / $0.04 = 150,000 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $21,841,500 worth of Nvidia, or 150,000 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 / $0.04 = 30,000 shares, or $4,368,300 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. That 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.
NVDA Price Action: Shares of Nvidia gained by 4.1% to close at $145.61 on Wednesday.

Bill Gates has been impressively named one of the world's richest people for decades. He famously topped the list from 1995 to 2017, holding<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39600675/bill-gates-was-the-worlds-richest-man-for-a-record-18-years-his-secret-to-success-saving-like-a-"> the number-one spot for 18</a> out of 23 years.
According to Forbes, Gates&#8217;s net worth is currently around $103 billion. He certainly knows a thing or two about extreme wealth. Yet, in an honest moment, he shared a refreshingly down-to-earth perspective on what money truly brings.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/100k-cd">$100K Sitting In A CD Account, Should I Move Money Into The Stock Market?</a></li>
</ul>
Speaking to students at the University of Washington, Gates highlighted that while millions of dollars provide "meaningful freedom," the difference between having a substantial amount and having billions is not as life-changing as it might seem. "I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars; there's a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that," Gates said. But he added a surprising twist: "Once you get much beyond that, I have to tell you, it's the same hamburger. Dick's [Drive-In] has not raised their prices enough."
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes">These high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% make earning passive income easier than ever.</a>
This comment reflects Gates' outlook that, beyond a certain point, more money doesn't necessarily buy you a better life or greater happiness. It might mean access to luxury, but for daily life, he suggests that the experience remains pretty simple – like eating a burger, no matter how rich you are.
Gates' Legacy of Wealth and Philanthropy
Since cofounding Microsoft, Gates has built an empire that has made him one of the world's wealthiest individuals. But Gates has long expressed a desire to use his wealth for meaningful impact. He even vowed to drop off the billionaires list entirely and in 2024, he dropped to his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38588551/bill-gates-is-reportedly-selling-a-pair-of-yachts-after-dropping-to-his-lowest-rank-on-the-billionai">lowest rank in 34 years</a>. Through the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, he's donated billions toward health, education and poverty reduction worldwide, focusing on initiatives he believes can change lives more effectively than luxury purchases.
Trending: Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on how on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Gates' message to students about the relative value of wealth – how, beyond basic freedom, it doesn't change the fundamentals of life – adds depth to his philanthropic philosophy. By emphasizing that money only goes so far in creating happiness or meaning, Gates highlights a belief in using wealth to make a difference rather than simply accumulating more.
In his words, being ambitious and successful is a good thing, but beyond that, it's about finding purpose and "picking what you enjoy doing." Gates' statement invites a look at wealth from a different angle, suggesting that what we choose to do with our resources – and why – matters far more than the size of our bank accounts.&nbsp;
