What makes up FIS's 4.96% yield
FIS paid $1.72 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $34.67, which is where the 4.96% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.
Yields at this level usually have a structural explanation rather than a mispricing: the company is organised to distribute income rather than retain it. Worth checking how FIS's current yield compares with its own history, since a sharp recent rise more often reflects a falling price than a raised payment.
Technology dividends are usually a recent and secondary use of cash — buybacks and reinvestment normally take priority — so yields are low even where the cash generation behind them is very large. The payout ratio here is often well below the level that would constrain a raise.
When FIS pays, and what that changes
FIS pays quarterly, the standard schedule for US-listed payers, so the "per payment" column is one quarter of the annual figure and the "monthly average" column is a smoothed figure rather than a description of when cash arrives — nothing is paid in eight months of the year.
Each payment has an ex-dividend date, and it is the date that governs entitlement: shares bought on or after it do not carry that payment. FIS's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is FIS's dividend covered by earnings?
FIS's payout ratio of 0.26 means roughly 26% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving the rest retained. A margin that size is what allows a payment to be maintained through a weaker year without being funded from borrowing.
A low ratio is the norm rather than an achievement in this part of the market: the dividend is a secondary use of cash behind reinvestment and buybacks, so most of what is retained is not being held back against a weak year — it is being spent elsewhere.
The figures hold the dividend flat, and that assumption carries more weight for FIS than it would for a lower-yielding holding. There is no established record of consecutive annual increases here, and at this yield a modest reduction in the payment changes the ten-year figure substantially.
FIS dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in FIS pay in dividends?
- At FIS's current yield of 4.96%, $10,000 pays about $496.11 a year — roughly $124.03 per payment, paid quarterly, or $41.34 a month averaged out.
- What would FIS be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in FIS would grow to about $16,373 after 10 years, against $14,961 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.
- How often does FIS pay dividends?
- FIS pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is FIS's dividend guaranteed?
- No. Dividends are discretionary and can be reduced or suspended at any time, and every figure here is a projection from the current yield rather than a forecast. Check FIS's full payment history before relying on any of it.
- Why is FIS's dividend yield so high?
- FIS yields 4.96% against a 2.92% median across US dividend payers. A yield is a ratio, so it rises either because the payment went up or because the share price came down — and the figure alone does not say which. Yields this far above the market among ordinary operating companies are unusual and often reflect what the market expects rather than what has been announced.
