Founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Markham, Canada, Sienna Senior Living (LWSCF) is an owner of seniors' housing, a licensed long-term care operator in Ontario, and a provider of services across the full continuum of care.

The firm operates solely within Canada.

Three key data points gauge Sienna Senior Living 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.

LWSCF Price

LWSCF’s price grew just over 18% last from $10.96 to $12.97 as of Tuesday’s closing price.

LWSCF Dividends

LWSCF has paid variable monthly dividends since June, 2011.

The current forward looking annual dividend of $0.67 yields 5.17% per Tuesday’s closing market price.

LWSCF Returns

Putting it all together, a $1.70 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding LWSCF’s annual $0.67 dividend to an estimated $1.03 average annual price gain, totaling that $1.70 gross gain.

A little under $1000 invested at the recent $12.97 price would buy 77 shares which, multiplies the $1.70 gross gain to $130.90.

Furthermore almost 40% of that $131.00 gain comes from the $52.70 in dividends generated from a $1,000 investment, and the $52.70 amounts to over 4 times more than the recent $12.97 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 Sienna Senior Living and its 5.17% dividend yield along with its 14 year dividend record.

The exact track of LWSCF’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.
