Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Markham, Canada, Sienna Senior Living Inc. (LWSCF) owns and manages seniors’ living residences.

It also offers independent living, assisted living, long-term care, and specialized programs and services.

Three key data points gauge Sienna 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.

LWSCF Price

Sienna's share price rose 48%  from $8.48 to $12.79 over the past year, per Tuesday’s market price.

No analysts cover the stock. However, 5 years of price history show the LWSCF stock price growing an average of $0.66 per year.

That increase could move the stock price to $13.45 by next September.

LWSCF Dividends

Sienna has paid monthly variable dividends since May 2010. The current forward 5.3% per Monday’s $12.79 share price.

LWSCF Returns

Putting it all together, a $1.34 estimated gross gain per share shows up when adding Sienna’s annual $0.68 dividend to an estimated $0.66 annual price gain.

A little under $1000 invested at the recent $12.79 share price would buy 78 shares which, multiply the $1.34 gross gain to an estimated $104.70 for the coming year.

Over half of that $105.00 gain comes from the $53.00 of annual dividends generated from your $1,000 investment.

Besides, the $53.00 annual dividend from your $1k investment is over 4 times greater than the recent $12.79 single-share price.

(A dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of 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 LWSCF to get that current $53.00 annual dividend income that has been paid out over the past 15 years.

The exact track of LWSCF’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.
