EQB stock dividends

EQB dividend payout ratio: 21.07% of net profits

Recently EQB has paid out, on average, around 21.07% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.54% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), EQB shareholders could enjoy a 2.54% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In EQB's case, that would currently equate to about C$2.00 per share.

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

EQB's most recent dividend payout was on September 30, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by September 15, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Has EQB stock ever split?

EQB's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on October 25, 2021. 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 EQB stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for EQB stocks, which in turn could have impacted EQB's stock price.
