Toyota Motor Corp with the stock ticker TOYOF, was founded in 1933 and is headquartered in Toyota, Japan.

It designs, manufactures, assembles, and sells passenger vehicles, minivans and commercial vehicles, and related parts and accessories in Japan, North America, Europe, Asia, Central and South America, Oceania, Africa, and the Middle East.

Three key data points gauge TOYOF 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.

TOYOF Price

Toyota’s share price dropped over 15.6% in the past year from $20.16 to $16.96 as of T’hursday’s closing price (yesterday).

TOYOF Dividends

Toyota has paid regular semi-annual dividends since November, 2010.

The current forward looking annual dividend of $0.69 yields 4.09% per Thursday’s $16.96 closing price.

TOYOF Returns

Putting it all together, a $1.63 gross gain per share shows up when adding Toyota’s annual $0.69 dividend to an estimated $0.94 annual price gain. 

That five-year average annual price gain, plus the dividend, makes that $1.63 gross gain.

A little over $1000 invested at the recent $16.96 share price would buy 59 shares which, multiply the $1.63 gross gain estimate up to $96.11

Furthermore, over 42.6% of that $96 gain comes from the $40.08 in annual dividends generated from your $1,000 investment.

Besides, the $40.08 annual dividend amounts to over 2.25 times the recent $16.96 single-share price.

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

Therefore, you may choose to pounce on Toyota Motor Corp and its 4.08% dividend yield along with its 15 year dividend record.

The exact track of Toyota future share price 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.
