Forward yield Not computed: the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by. The trailing figure beside it is what has actually been paid.
Trailing 12-month yield Not computed — either no payment in the last 365 days or no price on record. Never assume the forward figure in its place.
Paid over 12 months No annual figure has been computed for this security yet.
Pays Irregular No settled cadence: the last three recorded payments were not reported at the same frequency, so nothing here is annualised from a single payment.
Next ex-date First day the shares trade without the next payment attached.
Next pay date When the declared payment reaches holders.
Growth streak 0 yr No current run of increases: the most recent complete calendar year did not pay more than the year before it. Our stored payment history for this security begins in 1984.
Years paying 13 Complete calendar years with a payment in our stored history, which begins in 1984. The issuer may have paid for longer than we hold.
Payout ratio 0% Share of trailing earnings paid out.
Income score 0-100 research screen, not a recommendation.

The two yields above are different measurements and are not interchangeable. The forward yield annualises the last regular payment; the trailing 12-month yield counts the cash actually paid over the last 365 days. Neither is an interest rate, a bond's yield to maturity or an index effective yield, and none of those may be compared with these as like for like. See how we compute these numbers.

Our stored payment history for ATRO begins in 1984. There is no current run of increases to report: either the most recent complete calendar year did not pay more than the year before it, or there is no earlier complete year in our history to compare it with.

A yield is just a payment divided by a price, so it moves every day even when the payment does not. The forward number is an estimate of the next twelve months; the trailing number is what was actually paid over the last twelve. Ex-date is the cut-off: own the shares before it and the next payment is yours, buy on or after it and the seller keeps it.

About the annual figure
Payment cadence is irregular, so the annual figure is the trailing 12 months.
Payment cadence is irregular
No regular payment cadence is established for ATRO. Our data provider did not report the same frequency for three consecutive payments, so the page treats the cadence as irregular: nothing is annualised from a single payment, and no forward yield is published. The trailing 12-month figures are unaffected — they count cash that was actually paid.

ATRO is a common stock. Any income comes from a dividend the board declares out of the company's profits and cash flow. There is no obligation to declare one, no par value to fall back on, and no arrears to make up if a payment is skipped — the board simply decides each period. That discretion is what separates a dividend from a coupon.

Four dates matter: the declaration date the board announces it, the ex-dividend date after which new buyers do not receive the payment, the record date that fixes the holder list, and the pay date the cash arrives. Qualifying US corporate dividends held long enough are taxed at long-term capital-gains rates as qualified dividends. Read how dividend stocks work.

Figures on this page are computed by Income Investing from the payment history and last price stored in our own database; the payment records come from fmp and the price from fmp, last recomputed Aug 25, 2026. They describe what has been paid, not what will be paid. Yield, payout ratio, our data sources and our methodology are explained elsewhere on the site.

Payment history

Each row is one payment as recorded by our data provider, newest first. The final column compares it with the nearest payment about a year earlier.

The table lists the 18 most recent recorded dividends for ATRO, newest first, with ex-dates running from May 08, 1984 to Oct 25, 2012. The latest is $4.71 per share in USD, ex-date Oct 25, 2012, pay date —. Measured against the nearest payment about a year earlier, 1 is higher, 5 lower and 5 unchanged; the remaining 7 have no comparable payment in the record. None is flagged as a special or one-off payment. Payment records supplied by fmp.

How to read this table: one row is one payment, newest at the top, and the amount is what a single share received on that one date. It is not an annual figure — the yearly ones are in the tiles above and in the totals further down. A row marked Special is a one-off the issuer chose to make rather than part of the regular schedule, which is why it is left out of the year-on-year comparison and out of those yearly totals. Whether the amount repeats for several rows or moves every time is a fact about the structure rather than a sign of health: a company usually resets its dividend once a year, while a fund's distribution can change with every payment.

The cadence column is the tag our provider attached to that individual payment (fmp), not the security's established schedule. The two can disagree, which is why the cadence shown in the tiles above is only accepted after three consecutive payments were tagged the same way.

A blank comparison means there was no comparable payment within sixty days of the same point a year earlier — a new payer, a changed cadence, or a gap in the record. Special and one-off payments are labelled and are excluded from the comparison.

Dividends by calendar year

Calendar-year totals, bucketed by ex-dividend date: every regular dividend whose ex-dividend date fell in that year, for the last ten complete years on record. These are amounts actually paid, never a forward estimate, and they are not the issuer's own annual dividend figure.

The chart covers 10 complete calendar years for ATRO, 2003 to 2012, per share, in USD. Each bar totals the regular dividends with an ex-dividend date in that calendar year. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, which is not necessarily the issuer's own dividend year. Our stored payment history for ATRO begins in 1984. The total went from $3.93 in 2003 to $4.71 in 2012 — 20% higher. Within that span 0 years were higher than the year before and 2 lower. The three most recent years shown are 2010 $0.0000, 2011 $0.0000 and 2012 $4.71. The current year is still in progress and is left out, and special or one-off payments are excluded. This is a record of what was paid, not a projection. The cadence on record for ATRO is irregular, so the number of payments a complete calendar year should contain is not fixed and no per-year count check is applied to these bars. Read each total as the payments we hold with an ex-dividend date in that year, nothing more.

Each bar, and each row underneath it, is one calendar year of regular payments added together for a single share. Read left to right and you are reading whether the payment has grown, held or been cut — a record of what was paid, never a forecast of what will be. One thing to watch for: a year here is decided by the date the payment went ex, so when that date slips across a year end one year holds an extra payment and its neighbour is one short while the payment itself never moved. Any year where that has happened is drawn as a dashed bar and marked with an asterisk, and it is the usual reason these totals differ from the annual figure the issuer itself publishes.

Bar height is the total per share of the regular dividends whose ex-dividend date fell in that calendar year, in USD. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, not by the issuer's own dividend year and not by the date the cash arrived. These are a trailing record — never the forward estimate shown in the tiles above.

What can go wrong
A common dividend is discretionary. The board sets it each period out of profits and cash flow, and it can be cut or suspended with no notice and no recourse for holders. Common stock sits last in the capital structure, behind lenders and behind preferred shares, so in a restructuring it is the first thing wiped out. The share price can fall further and faster than the dividend, and a rising yield is often the market marking the payment down rather than a bargain appearing.

These are not the best-paying securities of this kind, and no ranking is meant by the order. They are the ones whose trailing 12-month yield sits nearest to this one, in the same structure and usually the same sector, so that this security can be seen in company rather than on its own. Every figure here is backward-looking cash that has already been paid. A row that sits well away from the rest is a question to take to that security's own page, not an answer.

Every row in this table is on the same basis — cash actually paid per share over the last 365 days, divided by that security's last price — so the column can be read down. Forward estimates are deliberately not used here, because they exist for some securities and not others and a mixed column would invite a comparison that does not hold. A dash means no payment was recorded in the last 365 days, or no price is on file. Open a security to see both of its yields.

Questions about ATRO

Does ATRO pay a dividend?
Our payment history for ATRO does not currently contain enough regular payments to compute an annual figure. That can mean the security does not pay, that it has only just started, or that the data has not been collected yet — check the issuer's own investor-relations page before drawing a conclusion.
When is the next ATRO ex-dividend date?
No future ex-date has been declared or collected for ATRO yet. The last one on record was Oct 25, 2012.
Has the ATRO payment grown?
Over the complete calendar years in our history, the total went from $3.93 in 2003 to $4.71 in 2012. The chart on this page shows every year in between, including any cuts. Those totals bucket each payment by its ex-dividend date, so a payment whose ex-dividend date shifts across a year end falls into the neighbouring calendar year. Past payment history describes what happened, not what will happen.
