Frequently asked
Does Semtech (SMTC) pay a dividend?+
No. Semtech (SMTC) does not pay a dividend, and no dividend payment appears anywhere in the filing history we hold.
How does Semtech return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. Semtech 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 Semtech afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Semtech generated $173 million of free cash flow, which is about $1.77 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.88 per share, a yield of about 0.5% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
