Rathbone Brothers share dividends

Recently Rathbone Brothers has paid out, on average, around 11864.41% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.46% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Rathbone Brothers shareholders could enjoy a 4.46% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rathbone Brothers's case, that would currently equate to about 0.7p per share.
Rathbone Brothers'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.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rathbone Brothers shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rathbone Brothers shares which in turn could have impacted Rathbone Brothers's share price.
