The company was founded in 1952 and is headquartered in Paris, France.

Bouygues SA (BOUYY) provides constructions for building, civil works, energy and services, property, roads and coals through five segments: Bouygues Construction (Construction & Services), Bouygues Immobilier (Property), Colas (Transport Infrastructure), TF1 (Media) and Bouygues Telecom (Telecoms).

Three key data points gauge BOUYY (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.

BOUYY Price

Bouygues’ single share price rose $2.82 (or about 32.5%) from $8.69 to $11.51 in the past year, per Friday’s closing market report.

No analysts cover the stock. However, the past three year price history shows an average $1.62 annual price gain which I’ll use for its annual return; after I discuss dividends.  

BOUYY Dividends

Bouygues SA has paid annual dividends since May, 2009.

The most recent A dividend of $0.49 was paid May 15th (to shareholders on record as of April 27th) and that annual payout yields a forward looking 4.22% (per Friday’s closing market report.}

BOUYY Returns

Putting it all together, as of June 19th, a possible gross gain of $2.11 was projected. The $1.62 per share historic annual gain was added to the $0.49 forward looking annual dividend to equal the $2.11 gross gain.

A little over $1000 invested in BOUYY at Friday’s $11.51 closing share price would buy 87 shares which multiply the $2.11 gross gain to $183.32 for the coming year, or about 18.33%.

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.

BOUYY’s projected annual dividend from $1K invested is $42.20. So Bouygues SA shows a dividend from $1,000 invested about 3.7 times greater than its $11.51 single share price.

The exact track of BOUYY’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.
