Of course, HYPMY’s price could drop about the same $0.48 estimated amount or more.My upside estimate of $0.48, however, is a few cents less than the average annual price gain by Hypera SA over the past three years.HYPMY DividendHypera has paid variable Annual dividends since January 17, 2018. Hypera’s most recent A dividend, of $0.25 was paid January 12, 2023 to shareholders of record since April 1st. The forward-looking $.25 annual dividend yields 3.58% at Tuesday’s share price,HYPMY ReturnsPutting it all together, we add the estimated forward-looking annual dividend of $0.25 to my estimated price upside of $0.48 and find a $0.73 gross gain.At Monday’s $6.92 closing price, a little over $1000 would buy 145 shares.A $10 broker fee (if charged), paid half at purchase and half at sale, might cost us about $0.07 per share.Subtracting that likely $0.07 brokerage cost from the $0.73 estimated gross gain per share produces a net gain of $0.66 X 145 shares = $95.70 or about a 9.5% net gain.You might choose to pounce on Hypera SA shares. HYPMY is a specialty and generic drug manufacturing company in Brazil. Furthermore the estimated $35.80 dividend income from $1k invested is over 5 times greater than Monday’s price of a single share.The fate of Hypera’s ongoing future price and dividend is yet to be determined.Remember the true value of any stock is best realized through personal ownership of shares.More By This Author:
