That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.57% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Kulicke and Soffa Industries shareholders could enjoy a 1.57% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Kulicke and Soffa Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.62 per share.

Have Kulicke and Soffa Industries's shares ever split?
Kulicke and Soffa Industries's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 31 July 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Kulicke and Soffa Industries shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kulicke and Soffa Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Kulicke and Soffa Industries's share price.
