Each payment counts toward the fiscal year it is paid for, so a final dividend paid in spring belongs to the year before. Figures are adjusted for stock splits, so a fall is a cut.
Computed from SEC filings. Ex-dividend and payment dates are not part of those filings, so they are not shown here. This is analysis, not investment advice.
Does First Advantage (FA) pay a dividend?
Frequently asked
Does First Advantage (FA) pay a dividend?+
No. First Advantage (FA) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2024, and nothing has been paid since.
How does First Advantage return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months First Advantage reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 1.0% 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 First Advantage afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. First Advantage generated $238 million of free cash flow, which is about $1.36 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.68 per share, a yield of about 3.1% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
Which technology companies do pay dividends?+
Our Technology sector page ranks the companies we cover by dividend score, which combines payout safety, free cash flow coverage and growth record. If income is what you are after, start there rather than with First Advantage.
