At the current share price of $22.54 / share, the stock’s dividend yield is 12.42%. Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 10.58%, the lowest has been 3.18%, and the highest has been 46.65%. The standard deviation of yields is 5.50 (n=185).
The current dividend yield is 0.34 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.61. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company’s income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company’s income is paid in a dividend. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend – not a healthy situation. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
The company’s 3-Year dividend growth rate is 0.25%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.
