Computer Services You May Bank On

This week I’m seeking a prestigious and long-term dividend-paying stock from the technology business sector. 

That technology sector has nineteen industries ranging from communication equipment, computers, consumer electronics, and contract manufacturing, to health and information technology and services to internet, scientific instruments, software, solar and all such technological marvels. 

Today I’m reviewing a small-cap information technology services outfit, named Computer Services Inc. Its trading ticker symbol is CSVI. 

Computer Services Inc. is a customer service company that delivers innovative technology solutions to banks, financial institutions and other businesses nationwide.

It provides processing, maintenance, and support services; software licensing and installation services; professional services; and e-business services, as well as equipment and supply sales. 

The company also offers integrated banking solutions, which include check imaging; cash management; secure Web hosting; e-messaging; teller and platform services; ATM and debit card service and support; payments solutions; risk assessment; network management; and services for regulatory compliance, homeland security, and fraud prevention.

The company was incorporated in 1965 and is headquartered in Paducah, Kentucky.

I use three key data points to gauge the value of any dividend equity or fund like Computer Services Inc (CSVI): 

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Besides those three, four more keys will finally unlock an equity or fund in which to invest.

But those first three primary keys, best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money. 

CSVI Price

CSVI’s price per share was $51.30 at Friday’s market close. A year ago its price was $47.50 for a price rise of $3.90 per share for the year, that’s an 8.2% gain. 

Assuming CSVI’s price will trade in the range of $44 to $60 next year, CSVI’s recent $51.50 price could improve by $4.00 to $55.50 by early-November, 2019.
