MO Returns
Adding the $3.60 MO annual dividend to the estimated one-year price upside of $3.07 shows a $6.67 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade MO shares.
At yesterday's $52.93 closing price per share, a little over $1000 would buy 19 shares.
A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at sale and might cost us about $0.53 per share.
Subtract that maybe $0.53 brokerage cost from my estimated $6.67 gross gain estimate per share results in a net gain of $6.14 X 19 shares = $116.66 for an 11.66% net gain including a 6.80% forward looking dividend yield.
So it is that Altria Group Inc shows a possible 11.66% net gain including a 6.8% forward looking dividend yield.
Over the next year at this time our $1000 investment in Altria Group Inc shares might generate $68.00 in cash dividends. Of course a single share of MO stock bought at yesterday's $52.93 price is about $15.07 less than the dividend income from our $1000.00 investment.
So, by my dogcatcher ideal, this a good time to pick up Altria Group Inc shares based on their forward looking dividends for the year 2022. A forthcoming annual dividend from $1K invested is estimated to be $15.07 greater than yesterday's single share price. Consider yourself alerted. It's a sign.
All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Altria Group Inc (MO). Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its market value.
