Janus Henderson Group plc was founded in 1934 and is based in London, United Kingdom, with additional offices in Jersey, United Kingdom, and Sydney, Australia.

Three key data points gauge Janus Henderson Group or any dividend-paying firm. The key three are:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

JHG Price

Janus Henderson Group’s price fell about 1.4% in the past year from $31.73 to $31.28 as of Monday’s market close.

In the past 5 years, the company’s share price has ranged from $14.71 to $48.55, the all-time high share price reached  November 9th, 2021.

Should JHG's share price realize the median projected $5.72 price gain from 11 analysts in the coming year,  its share price might grow to $36.00.

JHG Dividends

Janus Henderson Group paid variable semi-annual dividends from May 2012 and switched to quarterly pay in May 2017.

The company’s most recent Q dividend of $0.39 was declared January 30th for shareholders of record prior to February 11th, and the dividend was paid out February 27th.

The forward-looking annual dividend of $1.56 yields 4.99% per Monday’s closing price.

JHG Returns

Putting it all together, a $7.28 estimated gross gain per share shows up by adding JHG’s annual $1.56 dividend to an estimated $5.72 annual price gain, totaling that $7.28 gross gain amount.

A little over $1000 buys 32 shares at Friday’s $31.28 share price.

So, a $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.31 per share out of the $7.28 gross gain to give us a $6.97 net amount per share to multiply by 32 shares.

That result comes to $223.04 for about a 22% estimated net gain in the coming year.

Furthermore, $49.90 in annual dividend income from your $1,000 investment in Janus Henderson Group is over 1.5x more than the $31.28 single-share price.

By these numbers, JHG could be considered an ideal dividend dog by my dogcatcher standards.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on JHG as a 91-year-old quarterly dividend-paying New London Investment Group. with a 13-year  dividend payment record.

The exact track of JHG’s future price and dividend 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.
