Recently Lindsay Australia has paid out, on average, around 95% of net profits as dividends.

In Lindsay Australia 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.019 per share.
Lindsay Australia '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.
