Owning Fortescue Ltd shares has been a rewarding experience when it comes to passive income over the last several years.
Nearly all of Fortescue's value is related to iron ore, and the upcoming dividends will be dependent on what happens with the resource price.
The estimate on Commsec suggests the annual payout could reduce to 84.6 cents per share, a cut of 22% compared to the FY26 level.
If Fortescue does pay that projected amount of 84.6 cents, then it would create $309.64 dividend cash and $442.34 overall income, including franking credits.
