Of course, Niterra’s price could drop about the same $0.27 estimated amount, or more.My upside estimate of $0.27, however, is about one  fifth Niterra’s average annual price gains over the past two years.NGKSY DividendNiterra has paid variable Semi-Annual dividends since June 23, 2016.  Niterra’s most recently paid SA dividend, of $0.30 was paid to shareholders of record as of March 30, 2023 on June 21st.  The forward looking $0.60 annual dividend yields 5.44% at Monday’s $11.03 share price,NGKSY ReturnsPutting it all together, we add the estimated forward looking annual dividend of  $0.60 to my estimated price upside of $0.27 and find a $0.87 gross gain.At Monday’s $11.03 closing price, a little over $1000 would buy 91 shares.A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, might cost us about $0.11 per share.Subtracting that likely $0.11 brokerage cost from the $0.87 estimated gross gain per share produces a net gain of $0.76 X 91 shares = $69.16 or a 6.9% net gain.You might choose to pounce on Niterra Co Ltd shares. NGKSY is a eighty-seven  year old auto and ceramic components supplier in Japan. Furthermore the estimated $54.40 dividend income from $1k invested is 4.9 times greater than Monday’s single share price.The fate of Niterra’s ongoing future price and dividend is 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: Sankyo (SKXJF)
