Does Accel Entertainment (ACEL) pay a dividend?
Accel Entertainment (ACEL) has never paid a dividend. It returns cash through buybacks instead, at roughly a 3.8% buyback yield over the last twelve months. The business does generate free cash flow of $105 million, so the absence of a dividend is a capital-allocation choice rather than an inability to pay. All figures are computed from company filings; this is analysis, not investment advice.
Frequently asked
Does Accel Entertainment (ACEL) pay a dividend?+
No. Accel Entertainment (ACEL) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does Accel Entertainment return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months Accel Entertainment reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 3.8% buyback yield. A buyback returns value by shrinking the share count, so each remaining share owns more of the business, but unlike a dividend it pays you nothing in cash and can be stopped at any time without an announcement.
Could Accel Entertainment afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Accel Entertainment generated $105 million of free cash flow, which is about $1.26 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.63 per share, a yield of about 4.7% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
