The latest MDT stock price hovers around $85.40, reflecting modest intraday volatility of 1.2%. Market analysts suggest that Medtronic’s upcoming earnings release could trigger a breakout, with revenue growth projections focused on cardiovascular device sales. Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (2.98% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0298 = $40,268 to generate an income of $100 per month. MDT has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank of 3 at present.
