Bread Financial Holdings (BFH) Dividends & Splits

Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (BFH) offers dividends and splits to its shareholders as a way to distribute profits and adjust the stock price. The dividend yield is a measure of the annual dividend payout relative to the stock price. It indicates the return on investment from holding the stock. The payout ratio is the proportion of earnings that is distributed as dividends. A higher payout ratio means a larger portion of earnings is returned to shareholders. The dividend ex-date is the date on which a stock starts trading without the dividend. Investors must own the stock before this date to be eligible for the dividend.

A stock split is a process in which a company increases the number of shares outstanding by dividing each existing share into multiple shares. The split multiple determines the ratio by which the shares are split. For example, a 2-for-1 split means each shareholder will receive two shares for every one they currently own. The dividend amount per share is the total dividend payment divided by the number of shares outstanding. The dividend growth rate measures the annual increase in dividends over time. It reflects the company's ability to increase its dividend payments to shareholders.
