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

11.05%

higher than usual

$1.38 dividend per share over the last twelve months on a price of $12.49

Today 11.05%, on average over fiscal years 2016 to 2025 8.70% (range 6.89 to 11.40%).

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 2025 on 30 Sep 2025, the dividend has fallen more than the price, so the yield has fallen.
