That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Estee Lauder Companies shareholders could enjoy a 0.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Estee Lauder Companies's case, that would currently equate to about $2.26 per share.
While Estee Lauder Companies's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Estee Lauder Companies may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Estee Lauder Companies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Estee Lauder Companies shares which in turn could have impacted Estee Lauder Companies's share price.
