Frequently asked questions

• Does Wirecard pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 0.44% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 0.52% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 5.13% of net profits

  Wirecard has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.44% of its share value annually.

  Wirecard has paid out, on average, around 5.13% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.52% 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 0.52% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Wirecard's case, that would currently equate to about 0.2 per share.

  While Wirecard's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

  The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 June 2019 (the "ex-dividend date").

  Wirecard's fiscal year ends in December.
