Does First Advantage (FA) pay a dividend?

Frequently asked
Does First Advantage (FA) pay a dividend?+
No. First Advantage (FA) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does First Advantage return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. First Advantage 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 First Advantage afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. First Advantage generated $249 million of free cash flow, which is about $1.44 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.72 per share, a yield of about 3.6% 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?+
