Does Youdao (DAO) pay a dividend?

Frequently asked
Does Youdao (DAO) pay a dividend?+
No. Youdao (DAO) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does Youdao return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. Youdao pays no dividend and we do not see a meaningful reduction in share count over the last twelve months, so cash is being retained in the business or spent on growth rather than returned. That is common for companies reinvesting heavily, and it means your return depends entirely on the share price.
Could Youdao afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Youdao generated CNY 4 million of free cash flow, which is about CNY 0.04 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly CNY 0.02 per share, a yield of about 0.1% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
