  The airline industry has been severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, with many grounding the majority of their fleet due to international travel restrictions.

  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 2.2% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 2.2% of stock value

  EasyJet has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.20% of its share value annually.

  EasyJet has paid out, on average, around 22.24% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.2% 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 2.2% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In EasyJet's case, that would currently equate to about 12.1 per share.

  While EasyJet's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

  EasyJet's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

However, indirectly, the new 9.1% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for EasyJet shares which in turn could have impacted EasyJet's share price.
