Noble Corporation Dividend Yield Pushes Above 6%: A Closer Look

Noble Corporation plc's dividend yield has pushed above 6% due to its quarterly dividend of $2. Historically, dividends have provided a significant share of the stock market's total return. The company's membership in the Russell 3000 gives it special status as one of the largest 3000 companies on the US stock markets. Dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability.
