Current Report: Bank Of South Carolina Might Grow 20.35% This Year

This company was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in Charleston, SC.

Bank of South Carolina Corp (BKSC) provides financial services.

It offers personal and business banking services including checking, savings, certificates of deposits, health savings accounts, retirement accounts, loans, credit cards, safe deposit boxes, and internet banking. 

Three key data points gauge BKSC (or any dividend paying entity):

(1) Price 

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

BKSC Price

Bank of South Carolina’s single share price climbed over 24% in the past year, from $15.28 to $19.02 per Friday’s closing market report.

No analysts cover the stock. However, the average of BKSC’s past three year price progression from  $10.41 to $19.02 shows an average annual gain of about $2.87, which I’ll use for the coming year’s returns and must include annual dividends, too.

BKSC Dividends

Bank of South Carolina has paid variable Quarterly dividends since November, 1995. The most recent Q dividend of $0.25 (equating to $1.00 annually) was paid July 31st, 2026 (to shareholders of record July 7th) yielding 5.26% annually (per Friday’s closing market report.)

BKSC Returns

Putting it all together, as of September 4th, a possible Bank of South Carolina gross gain of $3.87 was projected. 

To get there, our $2.87 per share averaged annual gain was added to the $1.00 presumed forward looking annual dividend to make that $3.87 gross gain. 

A little over $1000 invested in BKSC at Friday’s $19.02 closing share price would buy 52.6 shares which multiply the hypothetical $3.87 gross gain to $203.47 for the coming year, or 20.35%.

My dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a dividend stock that pay an annual dividend (from $1000 invested) that is greater than the cost of one share.

Bank of South Carolina’s  projected annual dividend from $1K invested is $52.60 and that annual dividend proves to be over 2.75 times more than its recent 19.02 single-share price.

The exact track of Bank of South Carolina’s future share price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances. 

Remember the best way to track stock performance and dividend payments is through direct ownership of company shares.
