Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd bears the ticker symbol HNHPF, and this is my first mention of HNHPF for my new Viking Portfolio or any of my previous Dog of The Week Portfolios.

Hon Hai Precision is the world's largest contract manufacturer of consumer electronics, communications, and computer products.

It is the biggest supplier to Apple, whose business accounts for 50% of overall revenue.

Hon Hai is also involved in the production of upstream components such as electronic connectors, semiconductor packaging, industrial robots, and metal casings for smartphones.

These upstream activities are mainly conducted through its listed majority-owned subsidiaries Foxconn Industrial Internet, FIH Mobile, Foxconn Interconnect Technology, and ShunSin Technology.

The company was founded in 1974 and is headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan.

Three key data points gauge Hon Hai Precision:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

HNHPF Price

Hon Hai Precision’s price per share was $6.43 at Thursday’s market close. And, in the past year, HNHPF’s share price fell by $1.02 or about 13.7%.

If HNHPF’s stock trades in the range of $6.00 to $8.00 this next year, its recent $6.43 share price might reach $6.90 by next year. My upside increases the estimate of $0.47 lines up with the average of one-year price gains for Hon Hai Precision over the past 12 years.
 

HNHPF Dividends

Hon Hai Precision’s most recent annual dividend of $0.35 casts an annual yield of 5.4%.
 

HNHPF Returns

Adding the $0.35 annual estimated Hon Hai dividend to my one-year price upside estimate of $0.47 reveals a $0.82 potential gross gain per share.

At Wednesday’s $6.43 closing price, a little over $1000 would buy 156 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and a half at the sale, might cost us about $0.06 per share.

Subtracting that maybe $0.06 brokerage cost from my estimated $0.82 gross gain makes a net gain of $0.76 X 156 shares = $118.56 for an 11.7% net gain including a 5.40% annual dividend yield.

In one year our $1K investment in shares of Hon Hai Precision Co Ltd would generate $54.00 in cash dividends. Of course, a single share of HNHBF stock at Thursday's $6.43 price is more than 8X less than the annual dividend income from our $1000.00 investment.

So, by my dogcatcher ideal, this is a good time to buy HNHPF shares based on their dividends for the coming year 2023. The current dividend from $1K invested is 8.4 times greater than HNHPF’s single share price. Consider yourself alerted.

All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Hon Hai Precision Co Ltd. Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its market value.
