Koninklijke Philips NV (PHG) is a diversified global healthcare company operating in three segments: diagnosis and treatment, connected care, and personal health.

Nearly half of the company's revenue comes from the diagnosis and treatment segment, which features imaging systems, ultrasound equipment, and image-guided therapy solutions.

The connected care segment (around a third of revenue) encompasses monitoring and analytics systems for hospitals, informatics businesses, and includes a sleep and respiratory care component.

Personal health business (remainder of revenue) is mainly oral health and personal care product lines, which include electric toothbrushes and men's grooming and personal care products.

The company was formerly known as Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. and changed its name to Koninklijke Philips N.V. in May 2013.

Koninklijke Philips N.V. was founded in 1891 and is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Three key data points gauge Koninklijke Philips NV 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.

PHG Price

Philip’s price grew about 32% in the past year from $19.34 to $25.48 as of Tuesday’s market close.

In the past 5 years the company’s share price has ranged from $10.88 to $56.68, the all-time high price of reached April 23rd, 2021.

Should Philips conform to  $2.00 under the median of one year price targets estimated by three analysts tracking the company for brokers, Philips share price could grow to $31.00 in the coming year.

PHG Dividends

Philips has paid variable Annual dividends since April 18, 2001. The company’s most recent A dividend of $0.89 was declared February 21st for shareholders of record prior to May13th, and the payout is due June 6th. So there’s time to get this payout. The forward looking annual dividend of $0.89 yields 3.48% per Tuesday’s $25.48 closing price.

PHG Returns

Putting it all together, a $6.41 estimated gross gain per share shows up by adding Philips’s annual $0.89 dividend to the estimated $5.52 estimated annual gross price gain, totaling that $6.41 amount.

A little under $1000 buys 39 shares at Monday’s $25.48 share price.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.26 per share out of the $6.41 gross-gain to give us a $6.15 net amount per share to multiply by 39 shares. That result comes to $239.85 for about a 24% estimated net gain in the coming year.

Furthermore, $34.80 in annual dividend income from your $1,000 investment in Koninklijke Philips NV is about 37% greater than the $25.48 single-share price. By these numbers, Philips could be considered an ideal dividend dog by my dogcatcher standards.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on Koninklijke Philips NV as a 134 year-old annual dividend-paying Dutch diagnostic, treatment and personal health care products company with an 24-year annual dividend payment record.

The exact track of Phillips 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.
