Does CATO pay dividends?
Yes. CATO pays on a — schedule, most recently $0.1700 per share with an ex-dividend date of 2024-09-01. To receive a payout you must own the shares before the ex-dividend date; buying on or after it means the previous holder collects that payment.
How the CATO yield is calculated
The trailing yield divides the last twelve months of dividends per share (—) by the latest market price. The forward yield annualizes the most recent payment across — payments per year, which reacts faster after a dividend raise or cut. A rising yield is only good news when it comes from a growing payout rather than a falling share price — check the annual history above and the CATO DCF fair value page for the cash flow behind it.
