Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Dallas, TX, CompX International, Inc. (CIX) manufactures security products used in the recreational transportation, postal, office and institutional furniture, cabinetry, tool storage, healthcare, and many other industries.

It operates through (1) Security Products and (2) Marine Components segments.

Three key data points gauge CIX 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.

CIX Price

CompX International ’s single share price dropped 33,6% from $32.65 to $21.67 last year, per Friday’s market price.

One analyst covers the stock and set a one year target price target at $26, uo $4.33.

However, CIX share price showed an average one year gain of $1.05 over the past 10 years.

CIX Dividends

CompX International has paid variable quarterly dividends since December 1999.

It paid a $0.30 average Quarterly dividend totaling $1.20 for 2025.

So, $1.20 is used as CIX’s forward looking dividend amount for 2026.

CIX Returns

Putting it all together, a hypothetical $5.53 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding CIX’s annual $1.20 dividend to the analyst-estimate of a $4.33 annual price gain.

A little under $1000 invested at Friday’s $21.67 share price would buy 46 shares which, multiply the $5.53 estimated gross gain to $255.19 for the coming year.

About 22% of that $255 gain comes from an annual dividend payout of $55.40.

And that $55.40 dividend from $1k invested is over 2.5x greater than CompX International’s $21.67 single share price.

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

2.5 is more than 1.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on CIX and its annual dividend payout of over 2.5 times its single share price.

The exact track of CompX International’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.
