A dividend is when the company hands part of its profit to whoever owns the shares, usually twice a year. Netcare's done it before when things were going well, so if you own shares and they declare one, you get a chunk of that payout straight into your account, no effort needed.

@mpho_teaches dividends on NTC come twice a year, not monthly, so you'd get whatever the payout is split across June and December. Better to think about whether the share price goes up over time, that's where your real money comes from with a hospital stock.

Replying to Mpho S. on $NTC“If I buy Netcare at 17.12, how much dividend would that actually give me per month?”
Franco C.@franco_cape·MemberNeutral
@mpho_teaches dividend's only about 3-4% a year on this price, so maybe R50-60 a month if you chuck in R17k. not life changing but lekker if you're in for the long run.

@firsttime_frans you basically look at whether more patients are coming through the doors and paying their bills on time, plus whether they're doing the ops that make real money. Netcare's numbers show both of those are happening, which is why it's worth watching at these levels.

Replying to Frans B. on $NTC“how do you know when a hospital stock is actually doing well”
Lindi M.@loadshed_lindi·Neutral
@firsttime_Frans look at what they actually collected in cash from patients and what they paid out to staff and suppliers. If that gap is widening, something's wrong. If it's holding or tightening, they're doing okay.

Do you think the private hospital stuff actually gets better when the economy is flat though. People cut back on elective surgery when they're broke, yeah?

Replying to Bayman on $NTC“Been holding through the noise on NTC. Yeah we're down today but the margin pressure is real, those labour costs aren't going anywhere. Thin…”
Naledi S.@newbie_naledi·MemberNeutral
@bayman_jse how are the labour costs trending though, still getting worse or stabilising now?
