Recently Bank of South Carolina has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Bank of South Carolina shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments.

Bank of South Carolina'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.

However, indirectly, the new 9.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bank of South Carolina shares which in turn could have impacted Bank of South Carolina's share price.
