Founded on July 25, 2016 and headquartered in Shanghai, China, Qfin Holdings, Inc. (QFIN) is a holding company which provides an AI-empowered Credit-Tech platform.

It provides a comprehensive suite of technology services to assist financial institutions and consumers, and Small and medium-sized businesses in the loan lifecycle.

Three key data points gauge QFIN 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.

QFIN Price

Qfin’s share price was down 37% last year from  $32.58 to $23.42 per Monday’s market price.

Thirteen analysts cover the stock.

The median of 13 analyst one-year price targets was $48.27.

That $24.85 annual increase, of course, could also stay flat, or decline, per market action.

QFIN Dividends

Qfin has paid variable semi-annual dividends since October 2022.

The current forward-looking annual dividend of $1.46 yields 6.23% as of Monday’s share price.

QFIN Returns

Putting it all together, a $9.74 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding Qfin’s annual $1.46 dividend to one-third of the analyst-estimated $24.85 annual price gain, which is $8.28.

A little over $1000 invested at Monday’s $23.42 share price would buy 43 shares, which multiply the $9.24 estimated gross gain to $394.53 for the coming year.

About 15.8% of that $395 gain comes from the annual $62.30 dividend generated from your $1,000 investment.

Furthermore, the $62.30 annual dividend income from $1,000 invested is about 2.7 times greater than the recent $23.42 single-share price.

(My 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.)

2.7 is more than 1.

Therefore, you could choose to pounce on Qfin Holdings Inc. with its dividend payout of about 2.7 times the single share price.

The exact track of QFIN’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.
