Frequently asked
Does RBC Bearings (RBC) pay a dividend?+
No. RBC Bearings (RBC) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2015, and nothing has been paid since.
How does RBC Bearings return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. RBC Bearings 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 RBC Bearings afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. RBC Bearings generated $385 million of free cash flow, which is about $12.15 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $6.07 per share, a yield of about 1.2% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
