The company was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Burlington, Canada.
Evertz Technologies Ltd. (EVTZF) designs, manufactures, and markets video and audio infrastructure solutions for the television, telecommunications, and new-media industries.
Three key data points gauge EVTZF (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.
EVTZF Price
Evertz’s single share price rose $2.81 (or about 32%) from $8.83 to $11.64 in the past year, per Tuesday’s opening market report.
No analysts cover the stock. However, the past three-year price history shows an average $0.86 annual price gain, which I’ll use for its annual return, after I discuss dividends.
EVTZF Dividends
Evertz has paid quarterly dividends since October, 2007.
The most recent Q dividend of $0.1505 was paid March 20th (to shareholders on record as of March 13th), and the resulting $0.602 annual payout yields a forward-looking 5.17% (per Tuesday’s opening market report.)
EVTZF Returns
Putting it all together, as of June 16th, a possible gross gain of $1.46 was projected. The $0.86 per share historic annual gain was added to the $0.60 forward-looking annual dividend.
A little over $1000 invested in EFTZF at Tuesday’s $11.64 opening share price would buy 86 shares, which multiply the $1.46 gross gain to $125.43 for the coming year, or near 12.5%.
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.
EVTZF’s projected annual dividend from $1K invested is $51.70. So EVTZF shows a dividend from $1,000 invested over 4.44 times greater than its $11.64 single share price.
The exact track of EVTZ’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.
