Movado Group (MOV) was founded  in 1967 and is headquartered in Paramus, NJ.

The company designs, manufactures, and distributes watches. It operates through Watch and Accessory Brands, and Company Stores, two segments. 

Three key data points gauge MOV (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.

MOV Price

Modado’s single share price increased $5.25 (or 29%) from $17.86 to $23.22 this past year, per Thursday’s market report.

Two analysts cover the stock and set a target price up $7.53 to $30.75. However Movado’s average annual price increase was $0.70 over the past twenty-six years; moving from $5.03 to $23.22.

MOV Dividends

Movado Group has paid quarterly dividends since April, 1996. 

However, the December 2025 Q dividend of $0.35 indicates a possible $1.40 annual dividend for the coming year. 

MOV Returns

Putting it all together, a possible annual gross gain of $2.10 per share is predicted by adding the $1.40 forward-looking dividend to a 1yr  $0.70 annual price-gain next year.

A little under $1000 invested at Thursday’s $23.22 share price would buy 43 shares which multiply the $2.10 estimated gross gain to a $90.44 upside for the coming year.

66% of that $90 upside gain could come from the $59.70 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.

And the $59.70 annual dividend from $1k invested is over 2 times the MOV $23.22 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 MOV’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.
