Gamehost Inc. (TSX:GH) is a Red Deer, Alberta-based company that operates hospitality and gaming properties. This is a small company with a market capitalization of $247 million, but it has a lot going for it. Let?s take a look.
Gamehost by the numbers
The company reported second-quarter earnings in August of $1.07 per share, in line with analyst expectations. It beat 2016?s Q2 results by $0.68 per share. The stock?s net income grew by 21% year over year, among the strongest growth in the industry.
Gamehost?s net profit margin sits at 25.74% ? a leader in the industry. For comparison, Great Canadian Gaming Corp. (TSX:GC) has a profit margin of 14.76%, and Pollard Banknote Ltd. (TSX:PBL) has a profit margin of 5.48%. Over the previous three years, earnings and revenue declined slightly, but the 2017 results have been good so far, and expectations are positive heading into 2018. The company?s debt-to-net-equity ratio is only 0.43, so the company has far more equity than debt, which also bodes well for the future. The stock?s trailing P/E ratio sits at 14.97.
The stock currently trades about midway between its 52-week low of $8.94 and its 52-week high of $12.09. Analysts expect it to trade in the $10-11 range over the next 12 months.
The dividend offering
Let?s look at the great dividend yield being offered. Gamehost offers a monthly dividend that currently sits at $0.0575 per share for an annual payout rate of $0.69 per share. This gives it a hefty yield of 6.90%. The yield over the past five years hasn?t dipped lower than 5.91%, so Gamehost pays a quality dividend reliably.
Bottom line
Overall, things look good for this small company. It?s had good results in 2017, and it boasts an industry-leading profit margin, so Gamehost knows how to take investor dollars and turn them into profits. It also offers a good dividend. If you want to add a dividend stock to your Foolish portfolio, consider making Gamehost that company.
