Recently Equity Lifestyle Properties has paid out, on average, around 74.64% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.26% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Equity Lifestyle Properties shareholders could enjoy a 2.26% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Equity Lifestyle Properties's case, that would currently equate to about $1.498 per share.
Equity Lifestyle Properties'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.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Equity Lifestyle Properties shares which in turn could have impacted Equity Lifestyle Properties's share price.
