Sandstorm Gold said on March 31, 2023 that its board of directors declared a regular
quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share ($0.08 annualized).
Previously, the company paid $0.02 per share.
Shares must be purchased before the ex-div date of April 17, 2023 to qualify for the dividend.
Shareholders of record as of April 18, 2023
will receive the payment on April 28, 2023.
At the current share price of $5.81 / share,
the stock’s dividend yield is 1.38%.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.31.
The payout ratio tells us how much of a company’s income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0)
means 100% of the company’s income is paid in a dividend.
A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend – not a
healthy situation.
Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically
means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0.
Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest
in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
The company has not increased its dividend in the last three years.
