Recently Washington Trust Bancorp 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), Washington Trust Bancorp shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Washington Trust Bancorp's case, that would currently equate to about $2.24 per share.
Washington Trust Bancorp'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.
Washington Trust Bancorp's most recent dividend payout was on 10 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Washington Trust Bancorp's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 3 August 1998 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares.

However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Washington Trust Bancorp shares which in turn could have impacted Washington Trust Bancorp's share price.
