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), Dorchester Minerals shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dorchester Minerals's case, that would currently equate to about $3.488 per share.

Dorchester Minerals'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.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dorchester Minerals shares which in turn could have impacted Dorchester Minerals's share price.
