- Fiscal year
- Today, last 12 months
For each fiscal year, the dividend per share for that year divided by the closing price on the last trading day of the fiscal year. The dashed line is the average (median) of the fiscal years.
The dividend of the last twelve months is well above that of the last fiscal year, for example because of an increase or a special payment. The comparison is therefore only of limited use.
Last twelve months: $0.057 per share, fiscal year 2025: $0.034 per share.
