Janus Henderson Group (JHG) provides investment management services to retail intermediary (56% of managed assets), self-directed (23%), and institutional (21%) clients.

At the end of September 2024, active equities (63%), fixed-income (21%), multi-asset (14%), and alternative (2%) investment platforms constituted the company's $382.3 billion in assets under management.

Janus Henderson sources most of its managed assets from clients in North America (61%), with customers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America (29%) and the Asia-Pacific region (10%) accounting for the remainder.

Janus Henderson Group plc was founded in 1934 and is based in London, with 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’s price increased about 22% in the past year from $31.01 to $37.75 as of Wednesday’s market close.

In the past 5 years, the company’s share price has ranged from $11.98 to $45.32. (BTW JHG’s all-time high, of $48.55 was reached back in November 2021.)

Should the company conform to the median of one-year price targets estimated by 12 analysts covering JHG for brokers, the share price could grow to $45.00 or more in the coming year.

JHG Dividend

JHG has paid variable quarterly dividends since September 2017. The company’s most recent Q dividend of $0.39 was declared on January 31st for shareholders of record prior to February  11th, and the payout was made on February 27th. A forward-looking annual dividend of $1.56 yields 4.13% per Wednesday’s $37.75 closing price.

JHG Returns

Putting it all together, a $8.81 estimated gross gain per share shows up by adding Janus Hederson’s annual $1.56 dividend to the estimated $7.25 annual gross price gain, totaling that $8.81 amount.

A little under $1000 buys 26 shares at Wednesday’s $37.75 share price.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.38 per share out of the $8.81 gross gain to give us a $8.43 net amount per share to multiply by 26 shares. That result comes to $219.18 (or about 22%) estimated net gain for the coming year.

Furthermore, $41.30 in annual dividend income from your  $1,000 investment in Janus Henderson Group is about 10 percent greater than the $37.75 single-share price. By these numbers, JHG may be an ideal dividend dog by my dogcatcher standards.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on Janus Henderson Group as a 91-year-old quarterly dividend-paying United Kingdom investment management service with an 8-year quarterly dividend 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.
