Three key data points gauge

CEZ a.s 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.

CEZYY Price

Over the past year, CEZYY share price grew 20% from $17.50 to $21.00 as of Friday’s market close.

If CEZYY trades in the range of $16.00 to $32.00 this next year, its recent $21.00 share price might rise to $24.00by next year. Of course, CEZ a.s price could drop about the same $3.00 estimated amount, or more.

My annual upside estimate of $3.00 however, is about $3.16 under the all time high price reached June 21, 2022.

CEZYY Dividend

CEZ a.s has paid Annual variable dividends since August 28, 2019.CEZYY’s most recent A dividend of $3.32 was paid August 16, 2023 to shareholders of record June 29th. The forward looking $2.16 annual dividend yields 10.29% at Friday’s $21.00 share price.

CEZYY Returns

To put it all together, add the estimated annual dividend of $2.16 to the price upside of $3.00 to find a $5.16 gross gain.

At Friday’s $21.00 share price, a little over $1000 would buy 48 shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, would cost us$0.21 per share.

Subtracting that likely $0.21 brokerage cost from the $5.16 gross gain produces a net gain of $4.95 X 48 shares = $237.60 for a 23.5% estimated net gain.

You might choose to pounce on CEZ a.s. It is a 35 year-old Prague, CZ-based, nationalized energy outfit. Furthermore, the estimated $102.90 of dividend income from $1k invested is almost 5 times greater than CEZYY’s $21.00 single shareprice.

The exact track of CEZ a.s ongoing future price and dividend is yet to be known.

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