UniCredit S.p.A. (UNCRY) was founded in 1870 and is headquartered in Milan, Italy.
It is one of the two largest Italian retail and commercial banks, but roughly a half of its operations is outside Italy.
It has a strong presence in Germany, Austria, and Central and Eastern Europe.
It generates most of its revenue from retail banking, but also maintains a sizable corporate and investment bank.
Three key data points gauge UniCredit or any dividend paying entity, namely:
(1) Price
(2) Dividends
(3) Returns
Those keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.
UNCRY Price
UNCRY share price rose 177% from $21.13 to $35.84 in the past year.
UNCRY Dividends
UniCredit has paid variable annual and now semi-annual dividends since May, 2021.
The current forward looking annual dividend of $1.68 yields 4.68% per Thursday’s $35.80 closing price.
UNCRY Returns
Putting it all together, a $4.58 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding UniCredit annual $1.68 dividend to an estimated $2.90 annual price gain (the median of annual target estimates by 6 analysts ).
That estimated one year target gain, plus the dividend, compose the $4.58 gross gain.
A little over $1000 invested at the recent $35.80 share price would buy 28 shares which, multiply the $4.58 gross gain estimate up to $127.93
Furthermore, about 37% of that $128.00 gain comes from the $46.80 in annual dividends generated from a $1,000 investment.
Besides, the $46.80 annual dividend amounts to $11 more than the recent $35.80 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 UniCredit and its 4.68% dividend yield along with its 4 year dividend record.
The exact track of UNCRY’s 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.
