Recently Perdoceo Education has paid out, on average, around 21.8% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.32% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Perdoceo Education shareholders could enjoy a 2.32% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Perdoceo Education's case, that would currently equate to about $0.46 per share.
While Perdoceo Education's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Perdoceo Education is investing more in its future growth.

Perdoceo Education's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 24 August 2003. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Perdoceo Education shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Perdoceo Education shares which in turn could have impacted Perdoceo Education's share price.
