Citrix Systems share dividends

7%

Dividend payout ratio: 7.27% of net profits

Recently Citrix Systems has paid out, on average, around 7.27% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Citrix Systems shareholders could enjoy a 1.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Citrix Systems's case, that would currently equate to about $0.74 per share.

While Citrix Systems's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Citrix Systems is investing more in its future growth.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Citrix Systems shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Citrix Systems shares which in turn could have impacted Citrix Systems's share price.

Citrix Systems share price volatility
