Founded in 1948 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Sanwa Holdings (SNWAF) through its subsidiaries, manufactures and sells steel construction materials for commercial and residential construction in Japan, North America, Europe, and Asia. 

It offers all kinds of doors, dock levelers, and aluminum store fronts, as well as maintenance services.

Three key data points gauge

Sanwa Holdings 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.

SNWAF Price

Sanwa Holding’s price is flat for the year as of Monday May 12th’s closing market price, at $15.17.

SNWAF Dividends

Sanwa Holdings has paid variable semi-annual dividends since December, 2012. The current forward looking annual dividend of $0.62 yields 4.08% per Monday’s May 12th market price.

SNWAF Returns

Putting it all together, a $3.42 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding SNWAF’s annual $0.62 dividend to an estimated $2.80 annual price gain, totaling that $3.42 gross gain amount.

A little over $1000 investment at the recent $15.17 price would buy 66 shares which, multiplies the $3.42 gross gain to $225.72.

Furthermore about 18.6% of that gain comes from the $40.90 in dividends generated from a $1,000 investment which amounts to about 2.7 times greater than the recent $15.17 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 Sanwa Holdings and its 4.09% dividend yield along with its 13 year dividend record.

The exact track of SNWAF’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.
