Frequently asked
Does James Fisher and Sons (FSJ.XLON) pay a dividend?+
No. James Fisher and Sons (FSJ.XLON) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does James Fisher and Sons return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months James Fisher and Sons reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 0.1% 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 James Fisher and Sons afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. James Fisher and Sons generated £34 million of free cash flow, which is about £0.67 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly £0.34 per share, a yield of about 7.5% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
