Of course, PT Astra’s price could drop about the same $0.42 estimated amount or more.My annual upside estimate of $0.42 however, is about in line with the average of Astra’s one-year stock price upsides over the past four years.PTAIY DividendPT Astra International Tbk has paid variable semi-annual dividends since July 2010. PT Astra’s most recent SA dividend of $0.12 was declared on October 4th for shareholders of record on October 13th and the payout was made on November 15th.A forward-looking $0.86 annual dividend yields 13.48% at Thursday’s $6.38 share price.PTAIY ReturnsTo put it all together, add the PT Astra estimated annual dividend of $0.86 to the estimated price upside of $0.42 to find a $1.28 estimated gross gain for the coming year.At Thursday’s $6.38 price, a little over $1000 would buy 157 shares.A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, would cost us about $0.06 per share.Subtracting that likely $0.06 brokerage cost from the $1.28 gross gain reveals a net gain of $1.22 X 157 shares = $191.54 for a 19% estimated net gain on the year.You might choose to pounce on PT Astra International Tbk. It is a 67-year-old dividend-paying Jakarta Indonesia-based industrial conglomerate.  Furthermore, the estimated $134.80 annual dividend income from $1k invested is over 21 times greater than PT Astra’s recent $6.38 share price.The exact track of PT Astra International Tbk’s ongoing future price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action.Remember the true value of any stock is best realized through personal ownership of shares.More By This Author:Current Analysis: Kingfisher
