Recently Northern Star Resources has paid out, on average, around 37.23% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.48% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Northern Star Resources shareholders could enjoy a 1.48% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Northern Star Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.19 per share.
While Northern Star Resources's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Northern Star Resources may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
