Forward annual dividend yield: 11.5% of stock value
Speedy Hire has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 11.50% of its share value annually.
Speedy Hire has paid out, on average, around 448.28% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 11.5% 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 11.5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Speedy Hire's case, that would currently equate to about 2.6 per share.
Speedy Hire'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.
Speedy Hire's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

Speedy Hire's shares were split on a 70:19 basis on 24 June 2009. So if you had owned 19 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 70 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Speedy Hire shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 72.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Speedy Hire shares which in turn could have impacted Speedy Hire's share price.
