Recently Protective Insurance Corporation 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.

In Protective Insurance Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
While Protective Insurance Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Protective Insurance Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Protective Insurance Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Protective Insurance Corporation's share price.
