Is today's dividend yield unusually high?
Dividend yield today
34.04%
unusually high$0.48 dividend per share over the last twelve months on a price of $1.41
Today 34.04%, on average over fiscal years 2017 to 2026 11.96% (range 8.58 to 22.51%). That is higher than in each of the last 10 fiscal years.
Since the end of fiscal 2026 on 30 Jun 2026, the price has fallen more than the dividend, so the yield has risen.
- 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.
Early warning sign
A high yield, a fallen price and a payout above earnings: this combination often comes before a dividend cut. Whether it happens, the yield alone cannot tell.
