Three key data points gauge any dividend equity or fund such as QIWI PLC (QIWI):

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

QIWI Price

QIWI's price per share was $7.78 as of yesterday's market close. One year ago its price was $11.85. Therefore QIWIs share price fell $4.07 or 34.3% in the past year.

If QIWI's stock trades in the range of $6.00 to $10.00 this next year, its recent $7.78 share price might rise by $0.22 to reach $8.00 by February 17, 2023. This estimate is  $4.55 below the median of one year price targets from five analysts tracking QIWI for their brokerage houses.

QIWI Dividends

QIWI's most recent quarterly dividend of $0.30 was paid December 14th, to shareholders on record as of December  3rd.  The QIWI  Annual estimated dividend payout per share of $1.20 yields 15.42% per yesterday's $7.78. closing price. 

QIWI paid variable quarterly dividend payouts generally increasing annually since May, 2014, but paid no dividends in 2018. The new stretch will mark 4 years next month.

QIWI Returns

Adding the $1.20 annual QIWI forward-looking dividend to its estimated one-year price upside of $0.22 shows a $1.42 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade QIWI shares.  

At yesterday's $7.78 price per share, a little over $1000 would buy 129 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at sale and might cost us  $0.08 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.08 brokerage cost from my estimated $1.42 gross gain estimate per share results in a net gain of $1.34 X129 shares = $172.86 for a 17.25% net gain on a $1.003.62 investment.

So it is that QIWI PLC (QIWI) shows a possible 17.25% net gain including a 15.42% forward estimated dividend yield. 

Over the next year at this time our $1000 investment in QIWI PLC (QIWI) could generate $154.20 in cash dividends alone. Note that a single share of QIWI stock bought at yesterday's share price of $7.78 is nearly 20 times  the dividend income from $1000.00 invested. So, by my dogcatcher ideal, now is a good time to pickup QIWI PLC (QIWI) shares. The estimated next-year dividend from $1K invested is 19.82 times greater than the single share price of QIWI. Consider yourself alerted. Its a sign!  

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