Three key data points gauge Traton SE or any dividend-paying firm.

(3) Returns

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

TRATF Price

In the past 3 years the company’s share price has ranged from $8.13 to $41.21, Traton’s all-time high, reached  March 7th.

Should the company conform to the average of one year price gain over the past 3 years share price could grow $5.42 to $41.00 in the coming year.

A forward-looking annual dividend of $0.61 yields 4.53% per Thursday’s closing price.

TRATF Returns

A little under $1000 buys 28 shares at Thursday’s $35.58 share price.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.36 per share out of the $5.42 gross-gain to give us a $5.06 net amount per share to multiply by 28 shares, to equal $141.68 for about a 14% estimated net gain on the year.

Furthermore, a $45.30 in annual dividend income from your  $1,000 investment in Traton SE is about $10 greater than the single-share price. By these numbers, Traton SE may be an ideal dividend dog by dogcatcher standards.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on TRATF as a 10-year-old annual dividend-paying commercial vehicle company with a 4-year dividend record.

The exact track of Traton SE'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.
