Three key data points gauge dividend equities or funds like Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI):

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

OHI Price

Omega's price per share closed at $37.50 Friday. Last year its price was $19.00. Price per share has increased over 97% from the depths of the Covid market slump. 

If Omega Healthcare Investors Inc stock trades in the range of $20 to $40 this year, its recent $37.50 price might rise by $2.25 to reach $39.75 by March 15, 2022. My estimate is in line the thirteen broker analysts following OHI.

OHI Dividends

The Omega Healthcare Investors Inc most recently declared quarterly dividend was $0.67 paid February 16th. Dividends are estimated to total $2.68 per share annually and yield 7.15% at Friday's $37.50 closing price. It has paid annually increasing dividends for eighteen years.

OHI Returns

Adding the $2.68 annual OHI anticipated dividend to my $2.25 price upside shows a $4.93 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade the shares.  

Put little over $1,000.00 today in The Omega Healthcare Investors Inc at $37.50 per share and we'd buy 27 shares of OHI stock.

A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at sale and might cost us about $0.37 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.37 brokerage cost from my estimated $4.93 gross gain per share results in a net gain of $4.56 X 27 shares = $123.12 for a 12.3% net gain on a $1,012.50 investment.

Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI) shows a possible 12.3% net gain including a 7.15% dividend yield. 

Over the next year at this time a $1000 investment could generate $71.50 in cash dividends. And a single share bought at yesterday's closing price was nearly $under 38! So, if OHI is your kind of healthcare facilities investment, OHI price is far below your dividend income from $1,000 invested. This augurs you consider this as a time to add this equity to your portfolio.      

All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (OHI) .  Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its worth.
