When Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) announced plans to acquire Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FYBR#NASDAQ">FYBR</a>) in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40727235/verizon-to-acquire-frontier-in-20b-deal-reaffirms-fy24-outlook">September for $20 billion</a>, some investors were likely eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. 
As of now, Verizon offers an annual dividend yield of 6.02%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend of 67.75 cents per share ($2.71 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $99,741 or around 2,214 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $19,957 or around 443 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($2.71 in this case). So, $6,000 / $2.71 = 2,214 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $2.71 = 443 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
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).
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.
Price Action: Shares of Verizon fell 0.4% to close at $45.05 on Wednesday.
On Oct. 1, Tigress Financial analyst Ivan Feinseth maintained Verizon with a Buy rating and raised the price target from $52 to $55.

Jim Cramer has urged companies to reduce prices to attract consumers amid ongoing inflation concerns. He emphasized the need for a &#8220;giant reset&#8221; in pricing strategies.
What Happened: Cramer pointed out that while price increases have slowed, many businesses are hesitant to lower them due to worries about gross margins. He believes this reluctance is misguided and that companies must recognize the necessity for price reductions, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/02/cramer-says-companies-must-lower-prices-time-for-a-giant-reset.html">reported</a> on Wednesday.
"Companies are so reluctant to take prices down because they don't want to hurt their treasured gross margins," he said.
"But I think it may be time for a giant reset."
He cited examples, such as liquor companies attributing declining sales to changing consumer preferences rather than high costs. Cramer also mentioned Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), which reported a mixed quarter, as an example of how inflation is affecting business.

Cramer noted that consumers and Wall Street are favoring companies offering lower prices. He mentioned McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) extending its $5 value meal and noted stock gains for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>), and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) as evidence.
Cramer predicted that 2024 will be remembered as the year consumers rejected inflated prices, leading to significant consequences for companies that fail to adjust.
Why It Matters: The call for price reductions comes at a time when market sentiment remains cautious. Traders are in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41161081/us-stocks-staring-at-another-weak-open-as-traders-await-key-jobs-report-sentiment-wavers-as-oil-ext">&#8220;wait-and-watch&#8221; mode</a>, anticipating key economic data, including non-farm payrolls. This cautious sentiment is compounded by geopolitical tensions and other economic factors.
Additionally, the S&amp;P 500 recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41029448/s-p-500-hits-all-time-highs-nasdaq-100-tops-20k-ahead-of-key-economic-data-whats-driving-markets">reached record highs</a>, with the Nasdaq 100 surpassing the 20,000-point mark. Despite these gains, the market has shown sideways performance as investors digest positive stimulus news from China and await further economic data.

Jim Cramer Pushes For Strategic Price Cuts Among Companies Amid Inflation Worries: 'It May Be Time For A Giant Reset'

Over two hundred pregnant women faced criminal charges for conduct related to pregnancy, abortion, pregnancy loss or birth during the first year following the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Some women faced prosecution for using medical marijuana, despite being registered patients under state law, as <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/hundreds-of-women-are-being-prosecuted-for-using-marijuana-or-other-drugs-while-pregnant-following-roes-repeal-report-shows/">highlighted</a> by Marijuana Moment's Ben Adlin.
That's according to a report from Pregnancy Justice, a reproductive rights organization, titled "Pregnancy as a Crime: A Preliminary Report on the First Year After Dobbs."
Following the landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion 2022, dated June 24, 2022, a sharp increase in pregnancy-related prosecutions is evident.
The <a href="https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/press/new-pregnancy-justice-report-shows-high-number-of-pregnancy-related-prosecutions-in-the-year-after-dobbs/">report</a> found that "in the one year from June 24, 2022, to June 23, 2023, there was the highest number of pregnancy-related prosecutions documented in&nbsp;a&nbsp;single year."&nbsp;
Nearly 97% of 210 criminal cases filed cited substance use during pregnancy.
In 133 of those cases, drug use was the only allegation made. Following methamphetamines, cannabis was the second most common drug appearing in 86 of the total number of cases.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/02152323/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-3.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-577305" /></a></figure>
"It is significant that, in eighty-six cases, the police or prosecution alleged that the defendant took some form of THC during her pregnancy, and in thirty-one of those eighty-six cases, the only allegation supporting prosecution was THC use," the report said. "Even more startling, in five of those cases, the court file included statements that the defendant had a medical marijuana card, indicating that she was being charged with taking legally prescribed medication."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Research On Cannabis And Pregnancy</h3>
Meanwhile, the growing body of research shows opposing results when it comes to cannabis use in pregnancy.
A recent <a href="https://www.ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(24)00682-3/abstract">study</a> from the Hebrew University in collaboration with the Hadassah Medical Center examined the potential long-term risks of prenatal cannabis use on children's neurological development. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41005364/using-weed-while-pregnant-study-of-500k-people-reveals-surprising-findings-some-better-than-othe">The research</a> which included more than 500,000 participants, found that THC, a molecule found in cannabis, can cross the placenta and potentially influence the developing fetal brain. The connection between marijuana use during pregnancy and autism, schizophrenia or depression was not confirmed by researchers.
Separately, a study <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s44220-024-00281-7">published</a> in the journal Nature Mental Health (via Health Day News) on July 4, 2024, reveals that children exposed to cannabis in utero exhibit brain patterns indicative of reduced inflammation, which could hinder critical developmental processes. The study, led by David Baranger, a postdoctoral fellow at Washington University in St. Louis, did find that prenatal cannabis exposure might influence the developing brain in ways <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39742388/cannabis-use-during-pregnancy-linked-to-child-brain-development-changes-study-finds">associated with mental health.</a>

&#8220;Farmland is a &#8216;total return&#8217; investment, with asset appreciation typically accounting for a majority of the overall return on invested capital,&#8221; said Luca Fabbri, FPI&#8217;s President and CEO.

The CEO indicated that the firm plans to use the resulting capital to reduce debt by around $140 million, buy back stock, pursue acquisitions, and address other corporate purposes.
Additionally, he noted that similar to the previous year, they expect to be able to make a significant special distribution to shareholders at year-end.

Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRRR#NASDAQ">GRRR</a>) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), today issued a firm statement regarding its uncompromising approach to safeguarding the integrity of its stock. The Company has been relentless in policing trading activities around its securities and is deeply concerned by what it sees as ongoing manipulation attempts.
In August 2023, Gorilla announced that an investigation of suspicious trading activity had uncovered evidence suggesting manipulation of its share price. In June and again in September this year, Gorilla identified further suspicious trading activity. This suspected manipulation was promptly and thoroughly investigated, and the findings have been reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company will not tolerate any actions that undermine the transparency and fairness of the market and Gorilla will continue to actively monitor and combat any such behaviour to protect our shareholders.
We would also like to reaffirm that Gorilla will seek additional opportunities to repurchase more of its shares under its recently announced share buyback programme, reaffirming our belief that the company's stock remains substantially undervalued given the Company's announced financial performance. The Company is focused on continuing to execute on its business strategy and deliver continued growth and profitability.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is reportedly set to increase the number of advertisements on its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/amazon-prime-video">Prime Video platform</a> starting next year. This initiative is part of the company&#8217;s broader strategy to enhance its ad-supported streaming services.
What Happened: Since introducing ads eight months ago, Amazon has not seen a significant drop in subscribers, alleviating fears of a negative reaction. Kelly Day, Prime Video International&#8217;s vice-president, mentioned that more ad slots will be available for brands by 2025, according <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f8112991-820c-4e09-bcf4-23b5e0f190a5">to</a> a Financial Times report.
During its inaugural London &#8220;up front&#8221; event on Wednesday, Amazon will outline its advertising plans to attract investment for the upcoming year. Day noted that the ad &#8220;load&#8221; would see a slight increase into 2025.
Amazon&#8217;s foray into the ad-supported streaming market positions it alongside competitors such as Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>). The company aims to showcase its ability to reach 19 million monthly viewers in the UK and 200 million globally.

Interactive ad formats will also be introduced, allowing viewers to engage directly with brands through their devices. This initiative underscores Amazon&#8217;s capability to convert ads into sales on its retail platform.

Why It Matters: Amazon&#8217;s decision to expand its ad presence on Prime Video comes at a time when the streaming landscape is rapidly evolving. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/01/36815328/amazon-to-introduce-ads-to-prime-video-potentially-generating-billions-in-revenue">Amazon introduced ads</a> on its platform, aiming to boost its $38 billion advertising business. This move marked a significant shift in the streaming advertisement arena, presenting a lucrative opportunity for advertisers seeking to connect with audiences across various streaming services.
In July, Amazon was reported to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40042764/amazon-challenges-netflix-with-cheaper-ad-slots-boosts-prime-video-ads-report">undercutting rival</a> Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) on advertising pricing, as it battles for marketers&#8217; attention. The company is going through its first &#8220;up front,&#8221; where television companies present their plans to advertisers to attract funding for the next year.
Moreover, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated in August that Prime Video intends to have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40127469/amazon-ceo-says-while-ads-have-become-a-norm-prime-video-intends-to-have-meaningfully-fewer">&#8220;meaningfully fewer ads&#8221;</a> than competitors like Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+. This approach highlights Amazon&#8217;s strategy to differentiate itself in the crowded streaming market.

Spectral AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDAI#NASDAQ">MDAI</a>) ("Spectral AI" or the "Company"), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced the completion of a proof-of-concept module of its wound measurement technology that calculates the total body surface area ("TBSA") of a burn. This technology, which is currently integrated into the Company's DeepView&#xAE; System for burn indication ("DeepView AI&#xAE;-Burn"), provides a fast, accurate, and standardized measurement that the Company believes is a significant improvement over current wound size measurement technology and can improve patient treatment decisions. &nbsp;
Burn size estimation is a crucial component of acute burn management. The speed and accuracy of determining burn size at the earliest stages of care is critical in making treatment decisions.
Current wound size measurement methods are limited in their ability to measure the three wound dimensions of distance, area and volume. This limitation can cause miscalculations in accurately sizing the wound and result in suboptimal treatment decisions.
In contrast, Spectral AI's proprietary wound measurement technology utilizes the same image capture produced by DeepView AI&#xAE;-Burn that provides an immediate, objective and binary assessment of a burn wound's healing trajectory to also deliver distance, area and volume measurements with sub-millimetric accuracy without reference to any attendant markers or manually placed stickers. In seconds, a burn size and depth calculation is generated to further aid clinicians in determining next step treatment decisions.
