Three key data points gauge

ADRZY or any dividend paying firm.

The key three are:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money.
 

ADRZY Price

Andritz’s share price grew 14.29% from $9.94 to $11.36 as of Friday’s market close.

In the past 5 years the company’s share price has rarely been less than $5.50 nor more than $14.38. Andritz’s price reached that all time high March 30, 2023.

If shares trade in the range of $10.00 to $14.00 this next year, the recent  $11.36 share price might grow to $11.80. Of course, ADRZY share price could also drop about the same $0.44 estimated amount, or more.

My $0.44 price upside estimate is  based on the average of Andritz’s one-year price gains over the past 14 years.
 

ADRZY Dividend

Andritz AG has paid variable annual dividends since April 2010. The company’s most recent Annual dividend of $0.54 was declared March 4th for shareholders of record March 25th and the payout was made April 12th.

That Annual dividend yield was 4.75%, as of Friday’s closing price.
 

ADRZY Returns

Putting it all together, a $0.98 estimated annual gross gain per share shows up by adding Andritz’s annual $0.54 dividend to the estimated price upside of $0.44, totals that $0.98 gross gain.

A little under $1000 buys 88 shares at Friday’s $11.36 share price.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.114 per share out of the $0.98 gross-gain to give us a net gain of $0.866 X 88 shares = $76.21 for about a 7.6% estimated net gain for the year.

Furthermore, the $47.50 annual estimated dividend from $1k invested is over 4 times more than the $11.36 single share price. By these numbers, ADRZY could be an ideal dividend dog.

Therefore, you might choose to pounce on Andritz AG. It is a 172 year-old variable annual dividend paying industrial machinery company with a  14-year dividend record.

The exact track of Andritz’s future price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.

Remember the best measure of   stock value is through direct ownership of shares.
