Daktronics Inc. dividends
New to this? How to read this page
- Dividend per share is the cash a company pays for each share you own, here added up for each fiscal year.
- Yield is the yearly dividend over the share price: what $100 of stock pays you in a year.
- Payout is the share of profit, or of free cash flow, paid out. Below 100% the dividend is covered; above it the company paid more than it made that year.
- A dividend that grows year after year is often a sign of a steady business. A very high yield can mean the market expects a cut.

FY2010 to FY2020In FY2020 Daktronics earned $0.01 a share and paid $0.20: the dividend took 2000% of profit.
Three columns a year on one dollar scale: what the company earned, what cash it had left after investing, and what it paid out, each per share. A dividend column taller than the other two was paid out of savings or borrowing that year.
How much of earnings it pays out
share of each yearThe dividend took more than the year's profit in 7 years (FY2017, FY2018, FY2020 and more).
The share of each year's net profit (blue) and free cash flow (green) paid as dividends. The dashed line is 100%: above it, the company paid more than it made that year. Values above 400% sit on the top edge.
Yield at each year's end
FY2010 to FY2020That year's dividend per share over the share price at the fiscal year's end. The dashed line is the middle year. A higher yield than usual can come from a lower share price or a bigger dividend; the columns above tell which.
How it compares
