Is today's dividend yield unusually high?

Dividend yield today

3.07%

higher than usual

$0.92 dividend per share over the last twelve months on a price of $30.10

Today 3.07%, on average over fiscal years 2017 to 2026 1.21% (range 0.93 to 3.55%).

The yield is above what was usual in recent fiscal years. Whether the price fell or the dividend rose is shown by the reason further down.

Since the end of fiscal 2026 on 30 Apr 2026, the price has risen more than the dividend, so the yield has fallen.
