Founded in 1931 and headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, Amano Corporation (AMANF) provides time information, parking, environmental, and cleaning systems in Japan and internationally.

It provides tracking and measuring systems and equipment to monitor, measure, and maintain the actions and locations of people, payloads, and particles.

Three key data points gauge AMANF or any dividend-paying entity, namely:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

AMANF Price

Amano’s share price was flat last year at $25.12 per Friday’s market price. No analysts cover the stock.

Historically, however Amano price grew 269% from $6.80 in October 2008 to $25.12 this year.

That is an $1.078 average increase per year over those seventeen years.

AMANF Dividends

Amano has paid variable semi-annual dividends since July 1987.

The current forward-looking annual dividend of $1.18 yields 4.17% as of Friday’s share price.

AMANF Returns

Putting it all together, a $2.26 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding AMANF’s annual $1.18 dividend to the historic-estimated $1.08 annual price gain.

A little over $1000 invested at Friday’s $25.12 share price would buy 40 shares which multiply the $2.26 estimated gross gain to $89.97 for the coming year.

About 52% of that $90 gain comes from the annual $47.00 dividend generated from your $1,000 investment.

Furthermore, the $90 annual dividend income from $1,000 invested is over 3.5 times greater than the recent $25.12 single-share price.

(A dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of stocks that pay an annual dividend from $1000 invested that is greater than the cost of a single share.)

3.5 is greater than 1.

Therefore, you could choose to pounce on Amano Corp with its dividend payout of about 3.58 times the single share price.

The exact track of AMANF’s future share price and dividends 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.
