Nordstrom Declares $0.19 Dividend
On August 16, 2023 the company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share ($0.76 annualized). Shareholders of record as of August 29, 2023 received the payment on September 13, 2023. Previously, the company paid $0.19 per share.
At the current share price of $14.32 / share, the stock's dividend yield is 5.31%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 3.85%, the lowest has been 2.20%, and the highest has been 8.61%. The standard deviation of yields is 0.86 (n=140).
The current dividend yield is 1.70 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company's dividend payout ratio is 3.84. 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.
