Mazda Motor Corporation was incorporated in 1920 and is headquartered in Hiroshima, Japan.

Mazda Motor Corporation manufactures and sells of passenger cars and commercial vehicles in Japan, North America, Europe, and internationally.

Three key data points gauge MZDAF (or any dividend paying entity):

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

MZDAF Price

Mazda Corp single share price grew $1.74 (or over 27%) from $6.42 to $8.16. this past year, per Friday’s market price.

No analysts cover the stock. However the past year pice gain of $1.73 might repeat.

MZDAF Dividends

Mazda Motors has declared but not paid variable semi-annual dividends since March 2025.

The declared, December 2025 SA dividend of $0.20 equates to a forward looking annual dividend amount of $0.37 for the coming year.

MZDAF Returns

Putting it all together, a hypothetical annual gross gain of $2.10 per share is predicted by adding the $0.37 forward-looking dividend to a $1.73 past-year-based price-gain.

A little over $1000 invested at Friday’s $8.15 share price would buy 122.7 shares which multiply the $2.10 gross gain to an estimated $257.67 upside for the coming year.

17.6% of that $258 upside gain could come from the $45.40 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment (if paid).

And the $45.40 dividend from $1k invested is 5.5 times more than MZDAF’s $8.15 single share price.

(A 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.)

MZDAF perhaps forthcoming dividend from $1,000 invested is over 5.5  times more the price of a single share.   

The exact track of MZDAF future share 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.
