Good morning everyone. Clicks basically runs the pharmacy and beauty shops on every high street, so when people need plasters or shampoo they're going there. Foot traffic back to normal after the past few years so the stores are doing decent business again.
@mpho_teaches Clicks paid 290 cents per share last full year, that works out to about 1.35% yield on the current price.
clicks pays out dividends, which is basically the company saying "we made profit, here's your share of it" if you own the shares. it's not guaranteed every year but when they do pay one, the money just lands in your account. that's one reason people hold onto good retailers like this, not just hoping the price goes up.
do I need R10000 to start or can I buy just a few Clicks shares with less
When Clicks does well, they sometimes pay shareholders a dividend, which is basically the company saying thanks by handing you a bit of the profit they made. It's not guaranteed every year, but it's one reason people hold onto shares like this for the long term instead of just trading them.
if I buy Clicks at 214.27, what dividend would actually land in my account per share?
Good Morning Everyone. Clicks closed at 214.27 yesterday. The thing about Clicks is most people don't realise it's not just a pharmacy, it's where ordinary South Africans buy their sunscreen and toothpaste and vitamins when load-shedding has them stressed, so the foot traffic stays pretty steady.
if clicks drops back to 209, is that when i should buy or am i already too late?
does Clicks actually pay you a dividend, or is it just the price going up?
@jim_jse4 ja, relief after that dip.
@mogale_morning ja, needed that bounce
A dividend is when the company hands part of its profit to whoever owns the shares, like saying thank you for sticking around. Clicks used to pay them regularly, though lately they've been keeping the cash to fix up the stores instead.
@mogale_morning balance sheet fine but what about cash flow?
@mogale_morning ja, balance sheet's the one thing they've kept clean. stores are the problem.
