Recently Saga Communications 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), Saga Communications shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Saga Communications's case, that would currently equate to about $1.6 per share.
While Saga Communications's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Saga Communications is investing more in its future growth.
Saga Communications's most recent dividend payout was on 17 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 25% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Saga Communications shares which in turn could have impacted Saga Communications's share price.
