META dividend yield and payout

To collect dividend, you gatz own the shares before the ex-dividend date. The META dividend yield wey dey above na the annual rate divided by the recent price; e dey move opposite to the share price, so one yield figure no mean anything unless you get the date dem take measure am. The per-share amounts wey dey here na the cash dividends wey dem declare, e no include any special or one-time distributions.

SELECT toDate(ex_dividend_date) AS date,
       round(cash_amount, 4) AS dividend_per_share
FROM global_markets.stocks_dividends
WHERE ticker = 'META' AND frequency IN (1, 2, 4, 12) AND ex_dividend_date >= today() - 1100
ORDER BY ex_dividend_date DESC
LIMIT 10

If you add up the regular dividends inside each calendar year, you go turn the individual payments into one growth picture.

SELECT toString(toYear(ex_dividend_date)) AS year,
       round(sum(cash_amount), 2) AS dividends_paid_per_share
FROM global_markets.stocks_dividends
WHERE ticker = 'META' AND frequency IN (1, 2, 4, 12)
  AND ex_dividend_date >= toDate('2019-01-01') AND ex_dividend_date < toDate(concat(toString(toYear(today())), '-01-01'))
