First Guaranty Bancshares share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 200% of net profits

Recently First Guaranty Bancshares has paid out, on average, around 200% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), First Guaranty Bancshares shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In First Guaranty Bancshares's case, that would currently equate to about $0.04 per share.

First Guaranty Bancshares's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

However, indirectly, the new 9.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for First Guaranty Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted First Guaranty Bancshares's share price.
