In general, dividends are not always predictable, following the ups and downs of company profits over time. Therefore, a good first due diligence step in forming an expectation of annual yield going forward, is looking at the history above, for a sense of stability over time.

If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 2.65% for Intel Corp, 0.86% for Skyworks Solutions, Inc., and 0.97% for Franklin Electric Co., Inc..
