My $6.55 upside estimate is $1.29 under the median annual price increase valuation calculated by YCharts  Historical price Multiples.
 

JHG Dividends

Janus Henderson’s most recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.39 was paid today, May 31, 2022, to shareholders on record as of May 13th.

Janus Henderson Group PLC initiated a quarterly $0.32 dividend as of September 1, 2017. The dividend has increased nearly annually to $0.39 as of today’s quarterly payout. Its payout equates to $1.56 at an Annual rate, JHG's annual payout is calculated to deliver a 5.48% annual yield per Friday’s $28.45 share price.
 

JHG Returns

Adding the $1.56 JHG annual dividend to my estimated one-year price upside of $6.55 shows an $8.11 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade JHG shares.

On Friday's $28.45. the closing price per share, a little under $1000 would buy 35 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at the sale and might cost us about $0.29 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.29 brokerage cost from my estimated $8.11 gross gain estimate per share results in a net gain of $7.82 X 35 shares = $273.70 for a 27.37% net gain including a 5.48% forward-looking dividend yield.

So it is that Janus Henderson Group PLC shows a possible 27.37% net gain including a 5.48% forward-looking dividend yield.

Over the next year, this time our $1000 investment in Janus Henderson Group PLC shares might generate $54.80 in cash dividends. Of course, a single share of JHG stock bought at yesterday's $28.45 price is almost half the dividend income from our $1000.00 investment.

So, by my dogcatcher ideal, this is a perfect time to pick up Janus Henderson Group PLC shares based on their forward-looking dividends for the year 2022. A forthcoming annual dividend from $1K invested is estimated to be 1.93 times more than yesterday's single share price. Consider yourself alerted. It's a sign.

All of the estimates above are speculation based on the past history of Janus Henderson Group PLC (JHG). Only time and money invested in this stock will determine its market value.
