Incorporated in 1925 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Nomura Holdings Inc. (NMR) provides various financial services to individuals, corporations, financial institutions, governments, and governmental agencies worldwide

It operates through three segments: Wealth Management, Investment Management, and Wholesale. 

Three key data points gauge Nomura Holdings Inc. 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.

NMR Price

Nomura's share price rose 37.9%  from $5.47 to $7.545 over the past year, per Wednesday’s market price. One analyst covers the stock and set her one-year price target at $7.665, up $0.11.

However, in the past five years, the price has tracked in a range of $4.94 to the recent $7.53 as of September 17th’s share price. 

The average annual price gain over the past five years was $0.52.

NMR Dividends

Nomura Holdings Inc. has paid semi-annual variable dividends since January 1987.

The current forward-looking annual $0.4752 dividend yields 6.31% per Wednesday’s $7.53 share price.

The most recent $0.2376 SA dividend was paid in June 12th.

NMR Returns

Putting it all together, a $0.79 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding NMR’s annual $0.4752 dividend  to an estimated $0.315 annual price gain.

A little over $1000 invested at the recent $7.53 share price would buy  133 shares which, multiply the $0.79 gross gain to an estimated $104.94 for the coming year.

Over 60% of that $105 gain comes from the $63.10 of annual dividends generated from your $1,000 investment.

Besides, the $63.10 annual dividend income from your $1k investment is 8.38 times greater than the recent $7.53 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.)

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on Nomura Holdings Inc to get that current $63.10 annual dividend income that has been paid out over the past 38 years.

The exact track of NMR’s 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.
