Current Report: Stanley Electric May Gain 10.63% Next Year

Stanley Electric Co Ltd (STAEF) was founded in 1920 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

The company manufactures and sells automotive equipment, semiconductors, and electronic equipment.

Three key data points gauge STAEF (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.

STAEF Price

Stanley Electric’s single share price stayed steady at $20.36, showing no price action in the past year, per Wednesday’s opening market report.

No analysts cover the stock.

However, SMTUF’s past three-year price progression from $16.00 to $20.36 shows an average annual gain of about $1.45 as a prediction for the coming year’s returns. I’ll use that number to calculate returns after I discuss STAEF’s dividends.

STAEF Dividends

Stanley Electric has paid variable semi-annual dividends since July, 1987.

The most recent SA dividend of $0.35 is due in December 2026 (to shareholders of record September 30th yielding  3.51% annually (per Wednesday’s closing market report)  

STAEF Returns

Putting it all together, as of October 28th, a possible Stanley Electric Company Ltd gross gain of $2.165 was projected. 

To get there, our $1.45 per share calculated annual price gain was added to a $0.715 presumed forward-looking annual dividend to make that $2.165 gross gain. 

A little over $1000 invested in STAEF at Wednesday’s $20.36 opening price would buy 49 shares, which multiply the hypothetical $2.165 gross gain to $106.34 for the coming year, or about 10.63%.

By the way, a dividend dogcatcher guideline is to only buy initial shares of a dividend stock that pay an annual dividend (from $1000 invested) that is greater than the cost of one share.

Stanley Electric’s projected annual dividend from $1K invested is $35.10, and that annual dividend proves to be about 1.7 times more than its Wednesday $20.36 single-share price. 

The exact track of Stanley Electric’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.
