Of course, INFY price could also drop about the same $1.01 estimated amount, or more.My $1.01 price upside estimate is based on median of one year target prices form thirteen analysts tracking Infosys stock.INFY DividendInfosys Ltd has paid variable semi-annual dividends since June 2004. The company’s most recent SA dividend of $0.3350 was declared May 2nd for shareholders of record May 31st and the payout was made July 3rd. The next INFY dividend is likely to be paid in November.The $0.335 SA dividend equates to $0.67 annually and yields 3.03%,INFY ReturnsPutting it all together, a $1.68 estimated annual gross gain per share shows up by adding INFY’s annual $0.67 dividend to the estimated price upside of $1.01, totaling that $1.68 gross gain.Slightly under $1000 buys 45 shares at Mondays $22.14 price.A $10 broker fee (if charged), taken half at purchase and half at sale, could take about $0.23 per share out of the $1.68 gross-gain to give us a net gain of $1.46 X 45 shares = $65.70 for about a 6.5% estimated net gain for the year.Furthermore, the $30.30 annual dividend paid from $1k invested is almost 1.5 times more than the $22.14 single share price. By these numbers, INFY might be an ideal dividend dog.Thus, you might choose to pounce on Infosys Ltd.
