| Snag This Cheap 5.1% Yield Dividend Stock Even Lower Than Director Heminger DidBy Dividend Channel Staff, Wednesday, April 26, 2:15 PM ET
There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on March 13, Fifth Third Bancorp's Director, Gary R. Heminger, invested $1,274,092.50 into 47,500 shares of FITB, for a cost per share of $26.82. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money. In trading on Wednesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:FITB) and achieve a cost basis 4.9% cheaper than Heminger, with shares changing hands as low as $25.50 per share. It should be noted that Heminger has collected $0.33/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently down 3.7% on their purchase from a total return basis. Fifth Third Bancorp shares are currently trading up about 0.4% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of FITB shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, FITB's low point in its 52 week range is $22.11 per share, with $40.07 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $25.80. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which FITB insider buying was recorded over the last six months:
The current annualized dividend paid by Fifth Third Bancorp is $1.32/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 03/30/2023. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for FITB, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 5.1% annualized yield is likely to continue.
