SNC-Lavalin Group stock dividends

SNC-Lavalin Group dividend payout ratio: 14.81% of net profits

Recently SNC-Lavalin Group has paid out, on average, around 14.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.18% of the current stock value.

• SNC-Lavalin Group's PEG ratio

However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for SNC-Lavalin Group stocks, which in turn could have impacted SNC-Lavalin Group's stock price.
