The recent pullback in Harvey Norman Holdings Ltd (ASX: HVN) shares could provide an opportune entry point for passive income investors.
Shares in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) retail stock have come under some pressure amid investor angst over a possible recession.
A recession could see sales slow down further if consumers delay the purchase of some big-ticket discretionary items, like TVs, computers, or that new sofa.
Since reporting a decrease in sales on 27 February, Harvey Norman shares are down more than 13%, currently trading for $3.61 apiece.
But as I said, longer term, this pullback could mean ASX 200 investors buying shares today will be earning a lot more passive income tomorrow.
So, just how much would you have to invest in Harvey Norman shares for $1,000 in passive income?
How many Harvey Norman shares would yield $1,000 in passive income?
The ASX 200 retailer has a lengthy track record of delivering two fully franked dividends each year.
Now, before we dive into how many Harvey Norman shares will deliver that handy $1,000 of passive income, do take note that the yields weâre discussing are trailing yields. These are based on the dividend payments of the past 12 months. Future yields may be higher or lower, depending on a range of company-specific and wider macroeconomic factors.
With that said, Harvey Norman paid out a final dividend of 17.5 cents per share on 14 November. The interim dividend of 13 cents per share hit investorsâ bank accounts on 1 May.
That works out to a full-year dividend payout of 30.5 cents per share. At the current Harvey Norman share price, that equates to a trailing yield of 8.4%, fully franked.
To garner my $1,000 in passive income Iâd need to buy 3,279 Harvey Norman shares. Or $11,903 worth.
Now I likely wonât make that full investment all in one go.
But thatâs okay.
Investing is a long game.
If I invest $500 a month, or whatever Iâm able to set aside, Iâll get to my passive income goal eventually.
