$0.6240
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
S Semi-Annual
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
55.2
Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
31
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$27.50 – $38.53
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
52.80%
The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.Years Paying

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
SNN's dividend yield fell from 3.16% to 2.27% over the past ~90 days (-0.89 pp). Of that move, -1.24 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.34 pp from the share price ($30.50 → $27.50). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
