Solid Underlying Growth in NA and EU Engineered Components Segments
The most recent short interest data has been released for the 02/15/2018 settlement date, which shows a 690,071 share decrease in total short interest for Quanex Building Products Corp , to 1,129,892, a decrease of 37.92% since 01/31/2018.

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, on 6/13/17, Quanex Building Products Corp will trade ex-dividend, for its quarterly dividend of $0.04, payable on 6/30/17. As a percentage of NX's recent stock price of $20.40, this dividend works out to approximately 0.20%.
Shareholders of Quanex Building Products Corp looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 0.8% annualized dividend yield can sell the December covered call at the $22.50 strike and collect the premium based on the $1.05 bid, which annualizes to an additional 8.6% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 9.4% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $22.50 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but NX shares would have to advance 10.8% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 16% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, on 3/15/17, Quanex Building Products Corp will trade ex-dividend, for its quarterly dividend of $0.04, payable on 3/31/17. As a percentage of NX's recent stock price of $19.50, this dividend works out to approximately 0.21%.
