Frequently asked
Does Digimarc (DMRC) pay a dividend?+
No. Digimarc (DMRC) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2014, and nothing has been paid since.
How does Digimarc return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months Digimarc reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 1.1% 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 Digimarc afford to pay a dividend?+
Not currently. Digimarc's free cash flow is negative at -$9 million, meaning the business consumed cash over the period rather than generating it. A company funding a dividend from cash it is not producing would be paying shareholders out of its balance sheet or borrowings, which is not sustainable.
