Recently Preformed Line Products Company has paid out, on average, around 8.51% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.93% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Preformed Line Products Company shareholders could enjoy a 0.93% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Preformed Line Products Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
While Preformed Line Products Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Preformed Line Products Company is investing more in its future growth.
Preformed Line Products Company's most recent dividend payout was on 24 January 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 January 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Preformed Line Products Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 10 June 1998. 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 Preformed Line Products Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Preformed Line Products Company shares which in turn could have impacted Preformed Line Products Company's share price.
