Recently Capital One Financial Corporation has paid out, on average, around 13.64% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Capital One Financial Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Capital One Financial Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.4 per share.
While Capital One Financial Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Capital One Financial Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

Have Capital One Financial Corporation's shares ever split?

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Capital One Financial Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Capital One Financial Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Capital One Financial Corporation's share price.
Capital One Financial Corporation share price volatility
