BlackRock (BLK) Dividends & Splits

BlackRock Inc (BLK) is a global investment management corporation that offers a broad range of financial products and services to institutional and individual investors. As part of its commitment to providing value to shareholders, BlackRock Inc (BLK) has a history of paying dividends and executing stock splits. Dividends are a distribution of a portion of the company's earnings to shareholders, typically in the form of cash or additional shares of stock. Stock splits, on the other hand, involve dividing existing shares into multiple shares in order to increase liquidity and make the stock more affordable to investors.

BlackRock Inc (BLK) has a dividend yield, which is a financial ratio that shows the amount of cash dividends distributed to shareholders relative to the market price of the stock. The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock's price. The payout ratio, meanwhile, measures the percentage of a company's earnings that are paid out as dividends. A lower payout ratio indicates that the company retains a larger portion of its earnings for reinvestment, while a higher ratio suggests that the company distributes a larger percentage of its earnings as dividends.
