  Charles Stanley Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.54% of its share value annually.

  Charles Stanley Group has paid out, on average, around 65% of recent 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), shareholders could enjoy a 2.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Charles Stanley Group's case, that would currently equate to about 13p per share.
