Does Photronics (PLAB) pay a dividend?

Frequently asked
Does Photronics (PLAB) pay a dividend?+
No. Photronics (PLAB) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does Photronics return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. Photronics 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 Photronics afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Photronics generated $110 million of free cash flow, which is about $1.88 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.94 per share, a yield of about 3.4% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
