Of course, Drax Group PLC’s price could drop about the same $0.60 estimated amount or more.My annual upside estimate of $0.60 however, is about equal under the average annual price increase over the past five years.DRXGY DividendDrax Group PLC has paid Semi-annual variable dividends since October 31, 2011. DRXGY’s most recent SA dividend of $0.22 was paid on October 23, 2023, to shareholders of record on August 23rd. The forward-looking $0.53 annual dividend yields 4.16% at Tuesday’s $12.75 share price.DRXGY ReturnsTo put it all together, add the estimated annual dividend of $0.53 to the price upside of $0.60 to find a $1.13 gross gain.At Tuesday’s $12.75 share price, a little under $1000 would buy 78 shares.A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, would cost us $0.13 per share.Subtracting that likely $0.13 brokerage cost from the $1.13 gross gain produces a net gain of $1.00 X 78 shares = $78.00 for a 7.85% estimated net gain.You might choose to pounce on Drax Group PLC It is an 18 year-oldUnited Kingdom-based, renewable energy outfit. Furthermore, the estimated $41.60 dividend income from $1k invested is 3.26 times greater than DRXGY’s $12.75 single share price.The exact track of Drax Group PLC’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:Stock Analysis: CEZ A.S.
