Singapore Airlines share dividends

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.13% of the current stock value.

In Singapore Airlines's case, that would currently equate to about $0.15 per share.
While Singapore Airlines's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Singapore Airlines may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
