This company was founded in August 1984 and is headquartered in New Delhi, India.

GAIL (India) Ltd. (GAILF) explores, produces, processes, transmits, distributes, and markets natural gas.

It operates through five business segments: (1) Transmission services, (2) Natural Gas Trading or Marketing, (3) Petrochemicals, (4) LPG and Other Liquid Hydrocarbons, and (5) Other.

Three key data points gauge GAILF, or any dividend paying entity, namely:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

GAILF Price

GAIL (India)’s single share price dropped about 4.5% from $14.97 to $10.99 this past year, perTuesday’s market price.

No analysts cover the stock . However, the five-year price history shows annual average price gain of $0.97.

GAILF Dividends

GAIL (India) Ltd has paid semi-annual, quarterly and now annual dividends since June 2012.

The recent, February 2025, Annual dividend of $0.45used as the forward looking annual dividend amount projected for the coming year.

GAILF Returns

Putting it all together, an annual gross gain of $1.42 per share is predicted by adding the $0.45 forward-looking dividend to a $0.97five-year-average-estimated price gain.

A little under $1000 invested at Tuesday’s $10.99 share price would buy 99 shares which multiply the $1.42 gross gain to an estimated $129.21 upside for the coming year.

31.7% of that $129 gross gain would come from the $40.90 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.

And the $40.90 dividend from $1k invested is about 4.5X more than GAIL (India)’s $10.99 single share price.

(A dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a stock that pay an annual dividend from $1000 invested that is greater than the cost of a single share.)

So, you might choose to pounce on GAILF and its forthcoming dividend from $1,000 invested that is 4.5 times more than the price of a single share. 

The exact track of GAIL (India) Ltd future share price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.

Remember the best way to track stock performance and dividend payments is through direct ownership of company shares.
