Intrinsiqq is a Netherlands-based company operating in Rotterdam, KvK 73238007.
TAL Education (TAL) stopped paying a dividend after 2018 and pays nothing today. It returns cash through buybacks instead, at roughly a 0.5% buyback yield over the last twelve months. The business does generate free cash flow of $286 million, so the absence of a dividend is a capital-allocation choice rather than an inability to pay. All figures are computed from company filings; this is analysis, not investment advice.
No. TAL Education (TAL) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2018, and nothing has been paid since.
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months TAL Education reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 0.5% 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.
On the numbers, yes. TAL Education generated $286 million of free cash flow, which is about $1.39 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly $0.70 per share, a yield of about 5.8% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
