The Eastern Company has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.02% of its share value annually.
The Eastern Company has paid out, on average, around 24.86% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.02% 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 2.02% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Eastern Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.44 per share.
While The Eastern Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
The Eastern Company's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, The Eastern Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $17.0169 up to $25.0185. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that The Eastern Company's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
