When is the best time to buy Nagase & Co. And what about the stock price and dividends?

Hello everyone. This is Olivertomo!



The reason I started investing in stocks was because I was interested in shareholder benefits.



Recently, more and more people are starting to invest in stocks regardless of their age.



The company I’m going to introduce this time, Nagase & Co., is a trading company specializing in science, with offices in Japan and abroad!



Let me explain about the company and when to buy.

I have three years of investment experience and have experience in the securities industry.



By reading this article, you’ll learn all you need to know about Nagase!

When is the best time to buy Nagase & Co.

In conclusion, I think now is the time to buy Nagase.



The reason is that the company has been increasing its dividend and recently announced the expansion of its shareholder benefits.



However, I believe that the best time to buy is now, when the stock price is falling due to the negative perception.



I also think it is a stock that is suitable for long-term investment.

How is the stock price moving?

The stock price plummeted due to the 2020 infection, but has since returned to 2018 levels with a high of 1862 yen.



However, the stock price dropped 200 yen after the change in shareholder benefits, and the current rate of increase since March 2021 has been poor.



The reason for the bad short selling by foreign investors is probably the most influential factor.

Dividends and indices

As of 5/28/2021, the PER is 11.1x PBR is 0.61x and the dividend yield is 2.95%.



The dividend payout ratio is in the 30% range, which is well balanced.

Shareholder Benefits

Residents of Japan only, who hold at least 100 shares for at least six months get a 1500 yen catalog gift, and those who hold at least three years get a 3000 yen catalog gift!



And if you hold 300 shares for 3 years, you can get a 10000 yen catalog gift.



There are so many different products, you’re bound to find something you want!

Investment trusts for inclusion

For those who are worried about buying stocks out of the blue, I would like to recommend investment trusts.



Investment trusts can be started with a small amount of money, so even beginners can start without worry.



I have selected investment trusts for inclusion at my own discretion, so please refer to them for your reference.
