I use three key data points gauge the value of any dividend equity or fund like William Hill plc:
(1) Price
(2) Dividends
(3) Returns
After those three, four more keys will finally unlock an equity or fund in which to invest.
However, first three primary keys, best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money.

William Hill’s price was $18.70 per share at yesterday’s market close. A year ago its price was $14.66 for a gain of $4.04 per share.
Assuming William Hill’s price will trade between the range of $16 to $25 next year, its price could grow another $4.04 from $18.70 to $22.70 by April, 2019.
WIMHY Dividends
William Hill’s most recent variable semi-annual dividend was $0.50 declared in this month of April, and payable on June 22.
