Recently Innovative Solutions and Support has paid out, on average, around 487.7% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Innovative Solutions and Support shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Innovative Solutions and Support's case, that would currently equate to about $N/A per share.

However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Innovative Solutions and Support shares which in turn could have impacted Innovative Solutions and Support's share price.
