Coface SA (CFACY) was founded in 1946 and is headquartered in Bois-Colombes, France.

The firm, through its subsidiaries, provides credit insurance products and related services for microenterprises, small and medium enterprises, mid-market companies, international corporations, financial institutions, and clients of distribution partners.

Three key data points gauge CFACY or any dividend-paying entity, namely:

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

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

CFACY Price

Coface price rose from $15.28 to  $18.69 over the past year, as of Monday.

No analysts cover the stock, but the trajectory of its one-year price suggests the CFACY stock price growing to $20.00 over the coming year.

CFACY Dividends

Coface has paid annual dividends for two years.

The current forward-looking annual dividend of $1.58 yields 8.45% per Monday’s $18.69 closing price.

CFACY Returns

Putting it all together, a $2.89 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding CFACY’s annual $1.58 dividend to an estimated $1.31 annual price gain.

A little under $1000 invested at the recent $18.69 share price would buy almost 54 shares which, multiply the $2.89 gross gain to an estimated $154.63 for the coming year.

Furthermore, most of that $154.63 gain comes from the $84.50 in annual dividends generated from a $1,000 investment.

Besides, the $84.00 annual total dividend from your $1k investment is 4.5 times greater than the recent $18.69 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 CFACY to get that current $84.00 annual dividend income that has been paid out over the past 2 years.

The exact track of CFACY’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.
