The amounts for the last 12 months and for fiscal 2025 differ if the company has raised or cut its dividend since then.

For banks and insurers we do not show whether free cash flow covers the dividend: there it mostly reflects movements in loans and deposits. The score leaves it out as well.

Is today's dividend yield unusually high?

Dividend yield today

4.01%

within the usual range

$0.76 dividend per share over the last twelve months on a price of $18.96

Today 4.01%, on average over fiscal years 2016 to 2025 4.19% (range 3.13 to 4.82%).

The yield is close to the average of recent fiscal years, less than a tenth above or below it.

Since the end of fiscal 2025 on 31 Dec 2025, the dividend has risen and the price has fallen, so the yield has risen, because of both.

  • 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.
