What 100 shares of AZN paid each year
Holding 100 shares, you would have received $280.00 in 2016 and $313.00 in 2025, up 12%, without buying another share. If the dividend kept growing 2.3% a year, its five-year pace, the same 100 shares would pay about $391 in year 10. That is a projection, not a promise.

Shares for a monthly income = (monthly goal × 12) ÷ $3.20
