quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share ($1.60 annualized).

At the current share price of $12.83 / share,
the stock’s dividend yield is 12.47%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been
10.71%,
the lowest has been 8.01%,
and the highest has been 18.33%.
The standard deviation of yields is 1.43 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is
1.24 standard deviations
above
the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 13.77.
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.
