Answer
The news release you provided only announces that Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (tickerâŻWTS) has declared a quarterly dividend, but it does not disclose the specific dividend amount (e.g., the cash per share) or the dividendâpayment date. Because the dividend amount is missing, we cannot compute the dividend yield relative to the current stock price.
What you need to determine the dividend amount and yield
| Information Required | Why itâs needed | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Dividend per share (cash amount to be paid each quarter) | This is the numerator in the dividendâyield calculation. | The full press release, the companyâs investorârelations website, or the âDividendsâ section on the WTSâŻInvestor Relations page. |
| Current stock price (or the most recent closing price) | The denominator in the dividendâyield formula. | Realâtime market data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo!âŻFinance, Google Finance) or your brokerage platform. |
Once you have those two pieces of data, the dividend yield is calculated as:
[
\text{Dividend Yield} = \frac{\text{Quarterly Dividend per Share}}{\text{Current Stock Price}} \times 100\%
]
If you need the annualized yield, multiply the quarterly dividend byâŻ4 (or use the annual dividend amount if the company already reports it) before dividing by the current price.
Suggested next steps
Locate the full dividend announcement
- Visit Watts Water Technologiesâ Investor Relations site (e.g.,
investor.wattswater.com). - Look for a recent âPress Releaseâ or âDividend Announcementâ datedâŻ2025â08â05.

Obtain the latest share price
- Check a reliable market data source for the most recent price of WTS (e.g., âWTS â NYSEâ on Yahoo!âŻFinance).
- Note the price at the time you are performing the calculation (e.g., the closing price of the previous trading day).
- Check a reliable market data source for the most recent price of WTS (e.g., âWTS â NYSEâ on Yahoo!âŻFinance).
Calculate the yield
- Plug the dividend per share and the current price into the formula above.
- Example (illustrative only): If the quarterly dividend were $0.15 per share and the stock trades at $30.00, the quarterly yield would be (\frac{0.15}{30.00}\times100 = 0.5\%). The annualized yield would be (0.5\% \times 4 = 2.0\%).
- Plug the dividend per share and the current price into the formula above.
Bottom line
- Dividend amount: Not specified in the excerpt you shared.
- Dividend yield: Cannot be derived without the dividend amount and the current stock price.
To obtain a precise answer, retrieve the exact dividend figure from the complete press release (or the companyâs dividend history) and combine it with the latest market price of WTS. If you can provide that missing dividend amount or the current price, I can instantly compute the exact yield for you.
