Three key data points gauge

Park Aerospace Corp or any dividend-paying firm.

The key three are:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

PKE Price

Over the past year, Park’s share price rose 26% from $12.41 to $15.68 as of Wednesday’s market close.

If Park shares trade in the range of $12 to $20.00 this next year, its recent $15.68 share price might rise to $18.00 by next year. Of course, Park’s price could drop about the same $2.32 estimated amount or more.

My annual upside estimate of $2.32 however, is calculated at about$1.00 above the average Park annual price gain over the past four years.

PKE Dividend

Park Aerospace Corp has paid quarterly dividends increasing annually since November 2022. Park’s recent Q dividend of $0.125 was declared on March 11, to shareholders of record on April 1st and payout is to be made May 3rd.

The forward-looking $0.50 annual dividend yields 3.19% at Wednesday’s $15.68 share price.

PKE Returns

To put it all together, add Park’s stated annual dividend of $0.50 to the estimated price upside of $2.32 to find a $2.82 gross gain.

At Wednesday’s $15.68 share price, a little over $1000 would buy 64 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, would cost us about $0.155 per share.

Subtracting that likely $0.155 brokerage cost from the $2.82 gross gain produces a net gain of $2.665 X 64 shares = $170.56 for a 17% estimated net gain on the year.

You might choose to pounce on Park Aerospace Corp It is a 70-year-old dividend-paying aerospace engine component supplier. Furthermore, the estimated $31.90 annual dividend income from $1k invested is just over 2 times greater than Park’s recent $15.68 single share price.

The exact track of Park Aerospace Corp’s ongoing future price and dividend will be determined by market action.

Remember the true value of any stock is best realized through personal ownership of shares.
