Three key data points gauge

GS Yuasa Corp or any dividend paying entity, namely:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

GYUAF Price

GS Yuasa Corp’s price is up 23.67% for the year as of May 9th’s closing market price, from $14.15 to $17.50.

GYUAF Dividends

GS Yuasa Corp has paid variable semi-annual dividends since June, 2014. The current forward looking annual dividend of $0.66 yields 3.99% per Friday’s May 9th market price.

GYUAF Returns

Putting it all together, a $7.38 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding GYUAF’s annual $0.66 dividend to an estimated $3.00 annual price gain, totaling that $3.66 gross gain amount.

A little over $1000 investment at the recent $17.50 price would buy 57 shares which, multiplies the $3.66 gross gain to $208.62.

Furthermore about 20% of that gain comes from the $37.90 in dividends generated from a $1,000 investment which amounts to over 2.1 times greater than the recent $17.50 single-share price.

(A dividend dogcatcher rule is to never buy a dividend from $1000 invested that pays less than the cost of a single share.)

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on GS Yuasa Corp 3.79% dividend payment with its 11 year dividend record.

The exact track of GYUAF’s future prices and dividends 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.
