This week my Safari portfolio seeks a company in the industrials sector.

That sector includes twenty-three industries all related to designing, fabricating and servicing stuff we want and use. The industrials industries range from aerospace and defense to waste management with all the transportation, business services, and equipment required in between.

Today I’m reviewing a staffing and outsourcing services company named BG Staffing, Inc. It’s trading ticker symbol is BGSF. 

BG Staffing Inc. provides temporary staffing services in the U.S. in Multifamily, Professional, & Commercial. Its temporary staffing services consist of on-demand or short-term staffing assignments, contract staffing, & on-site management administration.

The company was formerly known as LTN Staffing, LLC and changed its name to BG Staffing, Inc. in November 2013. BG Staffing, Inc. is headquartered in Plano, Texas.

Three primary keys measure dividend equities or funds like BG Staffing Inc.: 

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

After those three, I’ll use four more keys to unlock an equity or fund in which to invest.

The three primary keys, however, tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money. 

BGSF Price

BG Staffing Inc.’s price at Friday’s market close was $16.75 per share.  A year ago its price was $13.50. Thus it gained  $3.25 per share in the past year.  If BGSF does the same this year its share price will increase from $16.75 to $20.00, or about 19%.

BGSF Dividends

BG Staffing Inc.’s most recent quarterly dividend was $0.25 declared  February first, and payable February 20th.  

The annual dividend for 2018 is estimated to be $1.00 payable in February, May, August, and November at $0.25 per quarter.

The yield from that $1.00 annual dividend was almost 6% at Friday’s $16.75 price.

Gains For BGSF?

Adding the $1.00 dividend to the $3.25 estimated year over year price gain shows a potential $4.25 gross gain for the coming year.
