Current Report: Ituran Location & Control Might Grow 12% This Year

Ituran Location & Control (ITRN) was founded in February 1994 and is headquartered in Azour, Israel.

The company provides stolen vehicle recovery, fleet management, and tracking services.

It operates through Telematics Services and Telematics Products segments.

Three key data points gauge ITRN (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

ITRN Price

Ituran’s single share price increased 13.85 (or 38.5%) from $36.98 to $50.55 last year, per Monday’s market report.

Three analysts cover the stock and set a target price at $60.67 which is up $10.12 from $50.55.

However Ituran’s average annual price increase was $5.92 over the past five years; moving from $20.94 to $50.55. Averaging the two estimates sets a compromise annual price gain at $8.02.  

ITRN Dividends

Ituran Location & Control Ltd paid annual dividends from April 2004 to 2012 when the mode was changed to quarterly. The April 2026 Q dividend of $1.50 indicates a possible $6.00 annual dividend for the coming year. 

ITRN Returns

Putting it all together, a possible annual gross gain of $14.02 per share is predicted by adding the $6.00 forward-looking dividend to a 1yr  $8.02 annual price-gain next year.

A little over $1000 invested at Monday’s $50.55 share price would buy 20 shares which multiply the $14.02 estimated gross gain to a $280.40 upside for the coming year.

42.39% of that $280 upside gain could come from the $118.69 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.

And the $118.69 annual dividend from $1k invested is near 2.33 times    the ITRN $50.55 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.

The exact track of ITRN’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.
