TDC Soft Inc (TDCSF) is engaged in the development, sale, rental, import, and export of computer software.

It also provides sales and education training related to information science and information processing systems.

The company's products and services include Cloud platform, Amazon web service, Human Resources, Health management support solutions, BP-LINKS, Meeepa, and others.

The company was founded in 1962 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

Three key data points gauge TDC Soft or any dividend-paying firm. The three keys are:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money.

TDCSF Price

TDC Soft’s price grew  20% in the past year from $7.50 to $9.00 as of Thursday’s market close.

In the past 3 years, the company’s share price has ranged from $4.23 to $9.00, the all-time high.

Should TDC Soft's share price conform to the average $1.59 per year price gains charted over the past three years, its share price might grow to $10.60 in the coming year.

TDSCF Dividends

TDC Soft has paid variable semi-annual dividends since June 2022.

The company’s most recent SA dividend of $0.18 was declared May 10th for shareholders of record prior to March 28th.

The dividend is expected in June. The forward-looking annual dividend of $0.18 yields 1.99% per Thursday’s closing price.

TDCSF Returns

Putting it all together, a $1.77 estimated gross gain per share shows up by adding TDC Soft’s annual $0.18 dividend to an estimated $1.59 annual gross price gain, totaling that $1.77 gross gain amount.

A little under $1000 buys 111 shares at Thursday’s $9.00 share price.

So, a $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.09 per share out of the $1.77 gross gain to give us a $1.68 net amount per share to multiply by 111 shares.

That result comes to $186.48 for about an 18.65% estimated net gain in the coming year.

Furthermore, $19.90 in annual dividend income from your $1,000 investment in TDC Soft Inc is over 2 times greater than the $9.00 single-share price.

By these numbers, TDCSF could be considered an ideal dividend dog by my dog catcher standards.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on TDCSF as an 63-year-old semi-annual dividend-paying Japanese software and training company with a 3-year  dividend payment record.

The exact track of TDSCF’s 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.
