Frequently asked
Does America's Car-Mart (CRMT) pay a dividend?+
No. America's Car-Mart (CRMT) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2022, and nothing has been paid since.
How does America's Car-Mart return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months America's Car-Mart reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 3.0% 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 America's Car-Mart afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. America's Car-Mart generated $150 million of free cash flow, which is about $17.95 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $8.97 per share, a yield of about 903.7% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
