Alternative ways to invest in Franklin Financial Network

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Franklin Financial Network), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Franklin Financial Network is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 3.4% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 3.4% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 74.63% of net profits

Franklin Financial Network has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.40% of its share value annually.

Franklin Financial Network has paid out, on average, around 74.63% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.4% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 3.4% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Franklin Financial Network's case, that would currently equate to about 1.29 per share.

Franklin Financial Network'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.

Franklin Financial Network's next dividend payout is expected around 27 May 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 1 May 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Franklin Financial Network's shares were split on a 125:100 basis on 28 June 2004. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 125 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Franklin Financial Network shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 20% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Franklin Financial Network shares which in turn could have impacted Franklin Financial Network's share price.
It's as easy to sell Franklin Financial Network as it is to buy! Here's how to sell Franklin Financial Network shares that you already own.
1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online
2. Go to your portfolio. This should be in the main menu
3. Find your shares. You may be able to search your portfolio
4. Choose how many you'd like to sell. You'll be able to review the price and see how much you'll receive
5. Sell your Franklin Financial Network shares. Your investment platform will let you know when your shares are sold
The easiest way to get hold of some Franklin Financial Network shares is to sign up for a share trading app and place a market order or basic order. This type of order tells the platform that you're interested, so it'll try to execute it as quickly as it can. It could take some time for the order to go through, especially if there's a lot of volatility in Franklin Financial Network shares.
