Macy`s Declares $0.17 Dividend
On February 24, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share ($0.66 annualized). Shareholders of record as of March 15, 2023 received the payment on April 3, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.16 per share.
At the current share price of $14.76 / share, the stock’s dividend yield is 4.48%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 5.00%, the lowest has been 1.78%, and the highest has been 22.50%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.91 (n=168).
The current dividend yield is 0.18 standard deviations below the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.15. 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.
