Let's take a look at all the details regarding the Dicker Data dividend.

Dicker Data pays out interim dividend

Dicker Data delivered a solid performance for its first quarter trading update for the 2022 financial year.

In summary, Dicker Data reported strong numbers across the board, delivering a 50.5% increase in revenue to $673.6 million.

On the bottom line, net profit before tax lifted 22.7% to $23.8 million.

Underpinning the robust result was a combination of organic growth and a full quarter contribution from the Exeed acquisition. The latter had not been a part of the business in the comparative period.

Nonetheless, the biggest win for shareholders came from the board's decision to increase the interim dividend by 44% over Q1 FY21. This reflects the highest quarterly dividend in the company's history.

When calculating against the current share price, Dicker Data is trailing on a forecast dividend yield of 3.83%.

Dicker Data share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, the Dicker Data share price has risen 16% on the back of strong investor sentiment.

However, numerous market shocks in 2022 following the Russian war in Ukraine and steep inflationary movements impacted the company's shares.

At current, Dicker Data shares are down 16% for the first six months of the year.

The company has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28.17 and commands a market capitalisation of roughly $2.16 billion.
