Rand Capital share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 100.93% of net profits

Recently Rand Capital has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Rand Capital shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rand Capital's case, that would currently equate to about $1.08 per share.

Rand Capital's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Rand Capital's most recent dividend payout was on 12 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Rand Capital's shares ever split?

Rand Capital's shares were split on a 1:9 basis on 21 May 2020 . So if you had owned 9 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rand Capital shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 800% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rand Capital shares which in turn could have impacted Rand Capital's share price.
