Alternative ways to invest in South State

• Invest in South State via a fund

  Buying shares in just one company can leave you more exposed to unexpected swings in the market than if you have a range of investments - a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend having a broad mix of assets and funds that hold a ready-made portfolio of at least 50 different companies' shares, on the basis that drops in the value of some will be offset by rises elsewhere.

  South State is a major part of the NASDAQ index, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

  • Forward yield

  Forward annual dividend yield: 3.12% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 27.32% of net profits

  South State has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.12% of its share value annually.

  South State has paid out, on average, around 27.32% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.12% 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 3.12% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In South State's case, that would currently equate to about $2 per share.

  While South State's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
