Visa IncClass A share dividends

21%

Dividend payout ratio: 21.09% of net profits

Recently Visa IncClass A has paid out, on average, around 21.09% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.81% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Visa IncClass A shareholders could enjoy a 0.81% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Visa IncClass A's case, that would currently equate to about $1.725 per share.

While Visa IncClass A's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Visa IncClass A is investing more in its future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Visa IncClass A shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Visa IncClass A shares which in turn could have impacted Visa IncClass A's share price.

Visa IncClass A share price volatility
