Current Report: SHIP Healthcare Holdings

SHIP Healthcare Holdings was founded on August 27, 1992, and is headquartered in Suita, Japan.

SHHPF manages a group of companies in the healthcare business. It has five segments: (1) Total Pack Produce, (2) Medical Supply, (3) Life Care, (4) Pharmacy, and (5) Others

Three key data points gauge SHHPF (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. 

SHHPF Price

SHIP’s single share price increased $3.04 (or 22%) from $13.84 to $16.88 this past year, per Wednesday’s morning market report.

No analysts cover the stock. However, a review of the past ten years of SHIP’s prices shows a possible annual increase of $0.32 for the year.

SHHPF Dividends

SHIP Healthcare has paid regular dividends since June 2005. 

The June 2025 declared Annual dividend of $0.39 was not paid but supports a $0.39 annual dividend estimate for the coming year.

SHHPF Returns

Putting it all together, a hypothetical annual gross gain of $0.71 per share is predicted by adding the $0.39 forward-looking dividend the possible SHIP $0.32 annual price-gain next year.

A little over $1000 invested at Wednesday’s $16.88 share price would buy 59 shares which multiply the $0.71 estimated gross gain to an estimated $42.06 upside for the coming year.

All of that $42 upside gain could come from the annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.

And the $42 dividend from $1k invested is about 2.5 times more than SHIP’s $16.88 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.) 

SHHPF’s $42 dividend from $1,000 invested is 2.49 times Wednesday’s $16.88 single share price. 

The exact track of SHPPF’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.
