Three key data points gauge Randstad NV or any dividend-paying firm.

The key three are:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

RANJY Price

Over the past year, Randstad NV's share price fell about 14% from $32.17 to $27.73 as of Thursday’s market close.

If RANJY trades in the range of $20.00 to $30.00 this next year, its recent $27.73 share price might rise to $28.55 by next year. Of course, Randstad NV’s price could drop about the same $0.82 estimated amount or more.

My annual upside estimate of $0.82 however, is about equal to the average of Randstad NV's one-year price increases accumulated over the past five years.

RANJY Dividend

Randstad NV paid variable annual dividends from May 2011 to April 2018 at which time it converted to semi-annual dividend payments.  RANJY’s most recent SA dividend of $1.55 was declared on February 14, 2023, to shareholders of record on March 30th. The payout was made on April 18th.

A forward-looking $2.95 annual dividend yields 10.64% at Thursday’s $27.73 share price.

RANJY Returns

To put it all together, add the estimated annual dividend of $2.95 to the estimated price upside of $0.82 to find a $3.77 gross gain.

At Friday’s $27.73 share price, a little over $1000 would buy 36 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, would cost us about $0.28 per share.

Subtracting that likely $0.28 brokerage cost from the $3.77 gross gain produces a net gain of $3.49 X 36 shares = $125.64 for a 12.6% estimated net gain.

You might choose to pounce on Randstad NV It is a 64-year-old Netherlands-based Human Resources agency.

Furthermore, the estimated $106.40 of annual dividend income from $1k invested is over 4 times greater than RANJY’s recent $27.73 single share price.

The exact track of Randstad NV's ongoing future price and dividend will be determined by market action.

Remember the true value of any stock is best realized through personal ownership of shares.
