Tyson Foods Declares $0.48 Dividend

quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share ($1.92 annualized). Shareholders of record as of February 28, 2023

At the current share price of $61.41 / share, the stock’s dividend yield is 3.13%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been
2.31%, the lowest has been 1.58%, and the highest has been 3.73%. The standard deviation of yields is 0.39 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is 2.12 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.28. 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 0.14%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.
