Incorporated in 1954 and headquartered in Calgary, Canada, Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA) provides energy transportation and midstream services.

It operates through three segments: (1) Pipelines, (2) Facilities, Marketing & New Ventures, and (3) Corporate and Income Tax.

Three key data points gauge PBA 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.

PBA Price

Pembina Pipeline Corp's share price fell 9.25% last year from  $42.71 to $38.75 per Tuesday’s market price.

Seventeen analysts cover the stock.

The average annual gain in Pembina price over the past 5 years was $3.33. That average would put the PBA stock price for 2026 at just over $42.00. Of course, the price could also stay flat or decline.

PBA Dividends

Pembina paid monthly dividends from June 1998 to December 2022 and went to quarterly pay in March 2023.

The current forward-looking annual dividend of $2.04 yields 5.28%.

PBA Returns

Putting it all together, a $5.37 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding PBA’s annual $2.04 dividend to an average estimated $3.33 annual price gain.

A little over $1000 invested at the recent $38.75 share price would buy 26 shares which, multiply the $5.37 estimated gross gain, to $138.58 for the coming year.

Over one-third of that $139 gain comes from the annual $52.80 dividend generated from your $1,000 investment.

Furthermore, the $52.80 annual dividend income from $1,000 invested is about 36% greater than the recent $38.75 single-share price.

(A dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a stock that pays an annual dividend from $1000 invested that is greater than the cost of a single share.)

36% is significantly greater than 0%.

Therefore, you could choose to pounce on PBA with its 36% greater than the share price dividend payout.

The exact track of PBA’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.
