On Thursday, Trinet Group Inc. (Symbol: TNET) shares were yielding more than 2% based on an annualized quarterly dividend of $1.10, trading as low as $54.61. This yield is considered attractive compared to historical averages, especially given that dividends have historically contributed significantly to total returns in the stock market.
For example, an investment in the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) from May 31, 2000, would have resulted in a 0.6% decrease over 12 years, but $10.77 per share in dividends brought the total return to 13.15%. As a member of the Russell 3000, Trinet’s dividend stability will be scrutinized by investors for future sustainability.
