Recently Friedman Industries has paid out, on average, around 2.36% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.94% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Friedman Industries shareholders could enjoy a 0.94% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Friedman Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.08 per share.
While Friedman Industries's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Friedman Industries is investing more in its future growth.

However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Friedman Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Friedman Industries's share price.
