That would be a total of $1.52 on dividend in the last 2 years or so. Current SP is ~ $2.9.
The company is Genworth Mortgage Insurance Australia Limited (GMA), which provides Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) in Australia. Other information that may be of interest are as follows:
MC ~ 1.4B
Top 3 holds about 60%of the company.
Current Book value per share is about $3.85
Average ROE in last few years is about 10%
Net profit in the last 3 years ranges between about 180 m to 220 m.
Based on the past dividend this seems to be good value. Also the share is currently trading about 25% discount to the book value. For my rather untrained eyes, the chart also looks not bad (I can see upside to at least about book value). I bought a small parcel recently and thinking to add more. Any comments here will be highly appreciated.
