The Company is also the owner of an investment property located adjacent to its operating properties in Grande Prairie.Gamehost Inc. was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Red Deer County, Canada.Three key data points gauge Gamehost Inc. or any dividend-paying firm.The key three are:(1) Price(2) Dividends(3) ReturnsThose three basic keys best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money.GHIFF PriceOver the past year, Gamehost’s share price rose about 17.8% from $4.46 to $6.60 as of Tuesday’s market close.If Gamehost’s stock trades in the range of $4.00 to $10.00 this next year, its recent $6.60 share price might rise to $7.30 by next year. Of course, Gamehost’s price could drop about the same $0.70 estimated amount or more.My upside estimate of $0.70, however, is about equal to Gamehost’s average annual price gain over the past three years.GHIFF DividendGamehost has paid variable Monthly dividends since July 15, 2011. Gamehost’s most recently declared monthly dividend, of $0.03 will be paid to shareholders of record as of November 29, 2023, on December 15th. The forward-looking $0.35 annual dividend yields 5.29% at Tuesday’s $6.60 share price,GHIFF ReturnsPutting it all together, we add the estimated forward-looking annual dividend of $0.35 to my estimated price upside of $0.70 and find a $1.05 gross gain.At Tuesday’s $6.60 closing price, a little over $1000 would buy 152 shares.A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, might cost us about $0.065 per share.Subtracting that likely $0.065 brokerage cost from the $1.05 estimated gross gain per share produces a net gain of $0.985 X152 shares = $149.72 or a 14.5% net gain.You might choose to pounce on Gamehost Inc. shares. GHIFF is a twenty-year-old hospitality and gaming company. Furthermore, the estimated $52.90 dividend income from $1k invested is over 8 times greater than Tuesday’s single share price.The tracks of Gamehost’s ongoing future prices and dividends are yet to be known.Remember the true value of any stock is best realized through personal ownership of shares.More By This Author:Current Analysis: Niterra
