This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Helmerich and Payne shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Helmerich and Payne's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.

Helmerich and Payne's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 9 July 2006 . 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 Helmerich and Payne shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Helmerich and Payne shares which in turn could have impacted Helmerich and Payne's share price.
