The Clorox Company share dividends

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.16% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), The Clorox Company shareholders could enjoy a 3.16% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Clorox Company's case, that would currently equate to about $5.88 per share.
The Clorox Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The Clorox Company's most recent dividend payout was on 11 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 April 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The Clorox Company shares which in turn could have impacted The Clorox Company's share price.
