She receives $108 in dividends for the year. Her dividend yield will be: = 2.50% (approximately) $4,325 Some corporations will not pay a dividend--or pay a very small one-because they want to reinvest their earnings for future growth. Others do not pay dividends because they do not have the financial resources to do so. There is no legal obligation for a corporation to pay a dividend.

The four dividends declared in the last fiscal year (FY 2018), all in regular cash, were:

1. 02/13/19 - $0.9275
2. 11/15/18 - $0.9275
3. 07/13/18 - $0.9275
