Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 4.09% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 4.1% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 1.66% of net profits

Big Yellow Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.09% of its share value annually.

Big Yellow Group has paid out, on average, around 1.66% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.1% 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 4.1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Big Yellow Group's case, that would currently equate to about 47.6 per share.

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

Big Yellow Group's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Safestore (SAFE.LSE): 4.11% (4.11% forward annual dividend yield)
- Extra Space Storage (EXR.US): 4.86% (4.87% forward annual dividend yield)
