This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Insteel Industries shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Insteel Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.12 per share.

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

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