Intercorp Financial Services said on March 31, 2023 that its board of directors declared a regular
annual dividend of $1.18 per share.
Previously, the company paid $0.77 per share.
Shares must be purchased before the ex-div date of April 27, 2023 to qualify for the dividend.
Shareholders of record as of April 28, 2023

At the current share price of $23.15 / share,
the stock’s dividend yield is 5.10%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been
4.26%,
the lowest has been 2.58%,
and the highest has been 6.53%.
The standard deviation of yields is 0.88 (n=175).
The current dividend yield is
0.96 standard deviations
above
the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.08.
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.
