Founded by Anton Frederik Philips and Gerard Leonard Frederik Philips in1891 and based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Koninklijke Philips NV (PHG) is a technology company, which engages in the healthcare, lighting, and consumer well-being markets. 

It operates through four segments: (1) Diagnosis and Treatment; (2) Connected Care; (3) Personal Health; and (4) Other. 

Three key data points gauge Philips 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.

PHG Price

Philip’s single share price increased 106.2% from $12.85 to $26.50 last 3 years, an average $4.55 gain per year based on Tuesday’s market price.

Four analysts cover the stock and the median of their one-year targets produced a $34.42 projection; up $7.92 from Tuesdays price.

It’s actual past-year price upside was $0.71.

However, PHG share price showed an average one year gain of $4.55 over the past 3 years.

PHG Dividends

Philips has paid variable annual dividends since April, 2001.

However, it paid no annual dividends for the years 2023 and 2024.

Nevertheless, $0.97 is projected as PHG’s forward looking dividend amount for 2026.

PHG Returns

Putting it all together, a hypothetical $5.29 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding PHG’s annual $0.97 dividend to the averaged $4.32 annual price gain averaged from Philips 1 and 3 year histories.

A little over $1000 invested at Monday’s $26.50 share price would buy 38 shares which, multiply the $5.29 estimated gross gain to $199.62 for the coming year.

About 18.3% of that $200 gain comes from an annual dividend payout of $36.60.

And that $36.60 dividend from $1k invested is over 1.25X the PHG $26.50 Monday 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.)

So, you may choose to pounce on PHG who’s annual dividend payout from $1K invested is 1.3X its single share price.

The exact track of Philips’  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.
