Dividend Insight

ADT has a dividend payout ratio of 33.3%, which denotes that the Company spends approximately $0.33 for dividend distribution out of every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects the amount a Company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to cash reserves.

According to analysts’ estimates, ADT is forecasted to report earnings of $1.14 for the next year, which is substantially higher than the Company’s annualized dividend of $0.14 per share.
