Stock Market Today

  • Investing £150 Monthly to Achieve £7,660 Passive Income via Dividends
    May 16, 2026, 3:02 AM EDT. Investing £150 monthly into a FTSE 100 index tracker with an average 8% annual return over 20 years could grow to £88,353. Using high-dividend stocks like Legal & General (LSE:LGEN), currently yielding 8.67%, may generate around £7,660 passive income annually. Legal & General, a key player in pensions and annuities, offers strong cash flow but carries risk due to long-term liabilities and sensitivity to recessions, as seen in 2008 when dividends dropped 35% and share price fell 80%. Given the 2026 economic outlook with stagnation and rising inflation in the UK, investors should weigh potential returns against recession risks before committing to high-yield income stocks.
