Isuzu Motors (ISUZY) is a Japanese automobile manufacturing company focused on the production of commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, and diesel engines.

The company primarily manufactures light- to heavy-duty trucks, buses, pickup trucks, and industrial diesel engines. Isuzu derives the vast majority of revenue from vehicle sales.

While Isuzu conducts sales across the globe, by individual country, Japan contributes the largest portion of consolidated revenue, followed by Thailand. The company mainly conducts manufacturing operations domestically

The company was formerly known as Diesel Automobile Industry Co., Ltd. and changed its name to Isuzu Motors Limited in July 1949.

Isuzu Motors Limited was founded in 1916 and is headquartered in Yokohama-shi, Japan.

Three key data points gauge

Isuzu 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.
 

ISUZY Price

Isuzu’s share price fell about 9.5% in the past year from $14.47 to $13.06 as of Friday’s market close.

In the past 3 years the company’s share price has ranged from $10.52 to $15.13, its all-time high of $17.94 was reached January 12, 2018.

If the company conforms to the average annual price gain over the past 15 years, price could grow $0.54 to $13.60
 

ISUZY  Dividend

Isuzu Motors has paid variable semi-annual dividends since July 22nd, 2005.

The company’s most recent SA dividend of $0.31 was declared September 20th for shareholders of record prior to September 30th, and the payout was made December 13th.

A forward looking annual dividend of $0.62 yields 4.69% per Friday’s closing price.
 

ISUZY Returns

Putting it all together, a $1.16 estimated gross gain per share shows up by adding ISUZY’s annual $0.62 dividend to the estimated $0.54 annual price gain, totaling that $1.16 gross amount.

A little over $1000 buys 77 shares at Friday’s $13.06 share price.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.13 per share out of the 1.16 gross-gain to give us a net $1.03 amount per share to multiply by 77, to equal $79.31 for about a 8% estimated net gain on the year.

Furthermore, the $46.90 annual dividend income from $1k invested in ISUZY is over 3.5 times greater than the single-share price. By these numbers, Isuzu Motors Ltd may be an ideal dividend dog.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on ISUZY as a 109 year-old semi-annual dividend-paying vehicle manufacturer with a 20 year dividend record.

The exact track of Isuzu Motor’s future 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.
