It is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation.Three key data points gauge Mitsubishi Shokuhin Co. or any dividend-paying firm.The key three are:(1) Price(2) Dividends(3) ReturnsThose three keys also best tell whether any company has made, is making, and will make money.MSHXF PriceShare price increased 20.4% over the past year from $26.91 to $32.40, as of Wednesday’s market close.In the past 3 years, the company’s share price has rarely been less than $22.00 nor more than $37.95. That all-time high price of $83.35 was reached on September 27th this year.If shares trade in the range of $27.00 to $37.00 this next year, the recent $32.40 share price might grow to $34.40. Of course, MSHXF shares could also drop about the same $2.00 estimated amount or more.My $2.00 price upside estimate is based on the average MSHXF annual price gains of the past five years.MSHXF DividendMitsubishi Shokuhin Co has paid variable semi-annual dividends since September 2008. The company’s most recent SA dividend of $0.63 was declared on May 9th to shareholders of record prior to March 28th, 2025. The dividend is likely to be payable in June.A forward-looking annual dividend of $1.26 yields 3.9% per Wednesday’s closing price.MSHXF ReturnsPutting it all together, a $3.26 estimated annual gross gain per share shows up by addingMitsubishi Shokuhin’s annual $1.26 dividend to the estimated price upside of $2.00, totals that $3.26 gross gain.A little over $1000 buys 31 shares at Wednesday’s $32.40 share price.A $10 broker fee (if charged), collected half at purchase and half at sale, might take about $0.32 per share out of the $3.26 gross gain to give us a net gain of $2.94 X 31 shares = $91.14 for about a 9% estimated net gain on the year.Furthermore, the $39.00 annual estimated dividend income from $1k invested in MSHXF is $6.60 greater than the $32.40 single-share price. By these numbers, MSHXF may be an ideal consumer staple dividend dog.Therefore, you might choose to pounce on Mitsubishi Shokuhin Co. It is a soon-to-be 100-year-old variable semi-annual dividend paying food supply and real estate concern with a 16-year dividend record.The exact track of Mitsubishi Shokuhin Co’s future price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.Remember the best measure of stock value is through direct ownership of shares.More By This Author:Current Report: Universal Corp
