Three key data points gauge

Regions or any dividend paying entity:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

RF Price

Regions price is up 3.6% for the year as of April 30th’s market price, from $19.67 to $20.37.

RF Dividends

Regions Financial has paid variable quarterly dividends since August, 2004. The forward looking annual dividend of $1.00 yields 4.87% per April 30th’s closing market price.

RF Returns

Putting it all together, a $4.10 estimated gross gain per share shows up by adding RF’s annual $1.00 dividend to an estimated $3.10 annual price gain from 22 analysts, totaling that $4.10 gross gain amount.

A $1000 investment at the recent $20.37 price would buy 49 shares which, multiplies the $4.10 gross gain to $200.90.

Furthermore over one quarter of that gain comes from the $48.70 in dividends estimated from a $1,000 investment which is almost 2.4 times greater than the recent $20.27 share price.

Therefore, you may choose to pounce any these substantial dividend paying financial sector stocks with 7 to 21-yeardividend payment records.

The exact track of RF’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.
