Explanation of Dividend Payout Ratio
The Dividend Payout Ratio measures the percentage of Stock dividends per number of Average Shares Outstanding to the Earnings per Share , showing how the company is paying for its dividend payout. The dividends paid should be coming from earnings the company generates.
