| Pick Up This Bargain 4.7% Yield Dividend Stock Even Cheaper Than Director Hill DidBy Dividend Channel Staff, Friday, June 23, 1:50 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 May 17, Regions Financial Corp's Director, J. Thomas Hill, invested $200,133.78 into 11,926 shares of RF, for a cost per share of $16.78. 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 Friday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Regions Financial Corp (NYSE:RF) and achieve a cost basis even cheaper than Hill, with shares changing hands as low as $16.77 per share. It should be noted that Hill has collected $0.20/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently up 1.1% on their purchase from a total return basis. Regions Financial Corp shares are currently trading down about 1.6% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of RF shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, RF's low point in its 52 week range is $13.94 per share, with $24.33 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $16.84. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which RF insider buying was recorded over the last six months:
The current annualized dividend paid by Regions Financial Corp is $0.8/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 06/01/2023. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for RF, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 4.7% annualized yield is likely to continue.
