Recently Kulicke and Soffa Industries has paid out, on average, around 7.95% of net profits as dividends. 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.
While Kulicke and Soffa Industries's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Kulicke and Soffa Industries is investing more in its future growth.

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.
