Frequently asked
Does SunOpta (STKL) pay a dividend?+
No. SunOpta (STKL) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2019, and nothing has been paid since.
How does SunOpta return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. SunOpta 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 SunOpta afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. SunOpta generated $21 million of free cash flow, which is about $0.17 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.09 per share. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
Which consumer staples companies do pay dividends?+
