Investors on the lookout for historically reliable passive income may wish to revisit Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ASX: ANZ) shares.
On the capital gains front, ANZ shares are up 3.4% since the opening bell on 3 January. However, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) bank stock remains down 7.8% over the past full year.
Of course, thatâs not including the two fully franked dividends ANZ delivered over those 12 months.
Which brings us to how much passive income you could earn if you invested $10,000 in ANZ shares today.
How much passive income could ANZ shares provide?
Before diving into the answer, itâs important to note that some of the dividend yields we discuss here are trailing yields. Meaning theyâre based on the dividend payments already made over the prior 12 months.
Now, with the exception of the pandemic-addled year of 2020, the passive income delivered by ANZ shares has been quite consistent. But future dividend payments could be higher or lower than what was paid over the year just past.
With that said, ANZ paid a final dividend of 74 cents per share on 15 December.
When the big four bank delivered its half-year results on Friday, the board declared an interim dividend of 81 cents per share. Thatâs up 9.5% from last yearâs interim dividend, driven by all-time high cash earnings. Cash earnings for the six months were up 12% to $3.82 billion.
ANZ shares trade ex-dividend next Monday. Meaning investors who want to score the 81 cents per share in passive income need to own the bank stock by market close this Friday, 12 May to be eligible. That fully franked dividend will hit shareholdersâ bank accounts on 3 July.
All told then, ANZ has paid (or declared) a total of $1.55 per share in dividends over a year.
At Friday’s market close share price of $23.80, that works out to a yield of 6.5%, with potential tax benefits.
Meaning that for a $10,000 investment, ANZ shares can offer $651 a year in convenient passive income.
