At the current share price of $32.22 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 24.83%.

Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 13.68%, the lowest has been 8.75%, and the highest has been 22.19%. The standard deviation of yields is 2.37 (n=237).

The current dividend yield is 4.70 standard deviations above the historical average.

Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is -3.72. 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.

The company has not increased its dividend in the last three years.
