Noah Holding’s price reached its all-time high of $69.56 on May 18, 2018.If shares trade in the range of $7.00 to $15.00 this next year, the recent $12.47 share price might grow to $14.00. Of course, NOAH’s share price could also drop about the same $1.53 estimated amount or more.My $1.53 price upside estimate is based on the median of Noah’s one-year target prices estimated by 9 analysts tracking Noah for brokers.NOAH DividendNoah Holdings has paid variable annual dividends since July 2023. The company’s most recent dividend of $2.11 was declared June 12th for shareholders of record July 3rd and the payout was made August 1st.That Annual dividend yield was 16.94%, as of Wednesday’s closing price.NOAH ReturnsPutting it all together, a $3.11 estimated annual gross gain per share shows up by adding FS Noah Holdins’ annual $2.11 dividend to the estimated price upside of $1.53, totals $3.64 gross gain.A little under $1000 buys 80 shares at Wednesday’s $12.47 share price.A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.125 per share out of the $3.64 gross gain to give us a net gain of $3.515 X 80shares = $281.20 for about a 28% estimated net gain for the year.Furthermore, the $169.40 annual estimated dividend from $1k invested is 13.5 times more than the $12.47 single share price. By these numbers, NOAH could be an ideal dividend dog if another hearty dividend is paid.Therefore, you might choose to pounce on Noah Holdings Ltd.
