Marvell Technology Group Declares $0.06 Dividend
On March 15, 2023 the company declared a regular
quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share ($0.24 annualized).
Shareholders of record as of April 7, 2023
will receive the payment on April 26, 2023.
Previously, the company paid $0.06 per share.
At the current share price of $39.26 / share,
the stock’s dividend yield is 0.61%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been
0.77%,
the lowest has been 0.26%,
and the highest has been 1.67%.
The standard deviation of yields is 0.35 (n=236).
The current dividend yield is
0.45 standard deviations
below
the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is -1.26.
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.
