Crawford-and-Company share dividends

Recently Crawford-and-Company has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Crawford-and-Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Crawford-and-Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.28 per share.

While Crawford-and-Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Crawford-and-Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Crawford-and-Company's most recent dividend payout was on 5 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Crawford-and-Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Crawford-and-Company shares which in turn could have impacted Crawford-and-Company's share price.
