National Research Corp (NRC) was founded by Michael D. Hays in 1981 and is headquartered in Lincoln, NE.
National Research Corp provides analytics and insights to facilitate patient, employee, and customer retention in the healthcare industry.
Three key data points gauge NRC (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.
NRC Price
National’s single share price fell $3.08 (or 19.7%) from $15.61 to $12.53 this past year, per Tuesday’s morning market report.
No analysts cover the stock. However, a review of the past ten months of NRC’s prices shows a possible annual increase of $1.58 the year.
NRC Dividends
National has declared and paid regular dividends since January 2015.
The January 2026 Q dividend of $0.16 supports a $0.64 annual dividend estimate for the coming year.
NRC Returns
Putting it all together, a hypothetical annual gross gain of $2.22 per share is predicted by adding the $0.64 forward-looking dividend to the possible NRC $1.58 annual price-gain next year.
A little over $1000 invested at Tuesday’s $12.53 share price would buy 80 shares which multiply the $2.22 estimated gross gain to an estimated $177.17 upside for the coming year
28% of that $177 upside gain could come from the $51.20 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.
And the $51.20 dividend from $1k invested is over 4 times more than NRC’s $12.53 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.)
NRC’s $51.20 dividend from $1,000 invested is 4,1 times Monday’s $12.53 single share price.
The exact track of NRC’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.
