Current Report: ING Groep Price May Rise 17.5% This Year

ING Groep NV (ING) was founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

ING provides banking, investment, life and non-life insurance, retirement, and asset management services.

Three key data points gauge ING (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.

NG Price

ING Groep’s single share price increased $9.28 (or 53.5%) from $16.36 to $26.69 last year, per Monday’s morning market report.

Three analysts cover the stock. The median of their one-year price targets set a price of $30.80, $4.11 higher.

However, ING’s average annual price increase was $1.48 over the past ten years.  So I’ll average the two annual growth estimates to $2.80 for the following calculations

ING Dividends

ING Groep has paid semi-annual dividends since June 1996. The May 2026 SA dividend of $0.88 is due to be paid May 1st, which suggests a $1.48 annual dividend payout.

ING Returns

Putting it all together, a possible annual gross gain of $4.68 per share is predicted by adding the $1.88 forward-looking dividend to a 1yr  $2.80 estimated annual price-gain this year.

A little under $1000 invested at Monday’s $26.73 share price would buy 37 shares which multiply the $4.68 gross gain to a $175.08 upside for the coming year.

37.4% of that $175 upside gain could come from the $65.60 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.

And the $65.60 annual dividend from $1k invested is near 2.5 times higher than ING’s $26.71 single share price.

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

ING’s dividend is 2.45 times over its share price. 

The exact track of ING'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.
