CSP (CSPI) Declares $0.05 Dividend
CSP said on February 14, 2024 that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share ($0.20 annualized). Previously, the company paid $0.04 per share.
Shareholders of record as of February 26, 2024 will receive the payment on March 8, 2024.
At the current share price of $33.71 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 0.59%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 3.38%, the lowest has been 0.54%, and the highest has been 10.17%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.47 (n=139).
The current dividend yield is 1.13 standard deviations below the historical average.
Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 0.23. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company's income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company's income is paid in a dividend. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend - not a healthy situation. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
