Current Report: Medallion Financial Corp,

Medallion Financial (MFIN) was founded by Andrew Murstein in 1995 to provide taxi medallion lending and is headquartered in New York, NY.

Medallion Financial Corp. now originates and services consumer loans and loans in various commercial industries.

Three key data points gauge MFIN (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.

MFIN Price

Medallion Financial’s single share price increased $2.06 (or 25%) from $8.10 to $10.16 this past year, per Wednesday’s closing market report.

Two analysts cover the stock. Their 1 yr target price estimates a $1.75 price gain this year.

MFIN Dividends

Medllion has paid variable quarterly dividends since November 1996. The March 2026 Q dividend of $0.12 suggests a $0.48 annual dividend estimate for the coming year. 

MFIN Returns

Putting it all together, a hypothetical annual gross gain of $2.23 per share is predicted by adding the $0.48 forward-looking dividend to a 1 yr average MFIN $1.75 annual price-gain next year.

A little over $1000 invested at Wednesday’s $10.16 share price would buy 98 shares which multiply the $2.23 estimated gross gain to a $219.49 upside for the coming year.

21.5% of that $220 upside gain could come from the $47.20 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.

And the $47.20 dividend from $1k invested is over 4.5 times the MFIN $10.16 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 greater than the cost of a single share.)

The exact track of MFIN’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.
