Three key data points gauge dividend equities or funds like Core-Mark Holding Co Inc:
(1) Price
(2) Dividends
(3) Returns
Those three basic keys best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money.
CORE Price
Core-Mark's price per share closed at $39.16 yesterday. A year ago its price was $26.88. Price per share has more than recovered from the Covid recession, being about 46% above last year's mark.
If Core-Mark Holding Co Inc stock trades in the range of $23 to $43 this year, its recent $39.16 price might rise by $1.34 to reach $40.40 by March 10, 2022. My estimate is in line with the median of the four broker analysts following the stock.
CORE Dividends
Core-Mark Holding Co Inc most recently declared quarterly dividend was $0.13 and is payable March 26th. Dividends are estimated to total $0.52 per share annually and yield 1.33% at yesterday's $39.16 closing price. It has paid annually increasing dividends for ten years.
CORE Returns
Adding the $0.52 annual CORE anticipated dividend to my $1.34 price upside shows a $1.86 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade the shares.
Put little over $1,000.00 today in Core-Mark Holding Co Inc at $39.16 per share and we'd buy 26 shares of CORE stock.
A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at a sale and might cost us about $0.38 per share.
Subtract that maybe $0.38 brokerage cost from my estimated $1.86 gross gain per share results in a net gain of $1.48 X 26 shares = $38.48 for a 3.8% net gain on a $1,018.16 investment.
Core-Mark Holding Co Inc shows a possible 3.8% net gain including a 1.33% dividend yield.
Over the next year at this time, a $1000 investment could generate $13.30 in cash dividends. And a single share bought at yesterday's closing price was about $40! So, if CORE is your kind of food distribution investment, CORE price is far above dividend income from $1,000 invested. This augurs to wait and see the price below $20 before buying.
All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Core-Mark Holding Co Inc. Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its worth.
