shares of Amcor were yielding above the 5% mark based on its quarterly dividend
, with the stock changing hands as low as $9.55 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the S&P 500 ETF back on 12/31/1999 — you would have paid $146.88 per share. Fast forward to 12/31/2012 and each share was worth $142.41 on that date, a decrease of $4.67/share over all those years.
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Amcor plc, looking at the history chart for AMCR below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 5% annual yield.
