Profit as a share of sales, from the company's own quarterly statements. The range covers the 5 quarters we hold, and the figure shown is its most recent one.

How these ranges are built

Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.

What does Qnity Electronics, Inc. do?

Qnity Electronics makes the clever bits of tech that help modern devices function, earning its keep by selling these components to other manufacturers. While the company is growing its top-line sales, recent bottom-line profits have taken a dip, which is something to keep an eye on. Investors are essentially paying a premium today in the hope that the company's future earnings will catch up to its current valuation.

On our factor screen it looks strongest on income and momentum, and weakest on value.

Does Qnity Electronics, Inc. pay a dividend?

Yes - Qnity Electronics, Inc. currently pays a dividend of about 0.2% a year, which is £2.40 a year for every £1,000 invested (the yearly payout as a share of the price). A dividend is a slice of profit handed to shareholders; the yield moves as the price moves, and a company can cut or stop it. An ISA doesn't shelter the US tax on this one →

What do the numbers say about Qnity Electronics, Inc.'s dividend?

There's no rating here, and we don't judge whether the dividend will continue - that would be advice. Here are the figures income investors usually look at, and what each one means, so you can weigh it up yourself.

Dividend yield0.2%£2.40 a year for every £1,000 invested. The yearly dividend as a percentage of today's price. A very high figure often means the price has fallen because the market expects a cut, so a big yield is a question to look into, not a prize.
Payout ratio8%about 8 in every 100 pounds of profit. The share of profit paid out as dividends. A lower figure leaves headroom; near or above 100% means most or all of the profit is going out as dividends.
Dividend coverover 10×Profit divided by the dividend (the payout ratio the other way up). As a rough convention many income investors like around 2× or more; below 1× means the company paid out more than it earned that year.

Figures are from the latest available data and can be distorted by one-off results. Past payments don't predict future ones, and a dividend can be cut at any time. This lays out the numbers to help you understand them - it is not a view on what will happen.

Most recent ex-dividend date: 29 May 2026. To receive a dividend you must already own the shares before the ex-dividend date; become a holder on or after it and the previous owner keeps that payment. Why the price usually falls that morning →

Does Qnity Electronics, Inc. have more cash or more debt?

It holds about $961.00M in cash against about $4.53B of debt - so it has net debt of about $3.57B. Debt is not automatically a problem - it funds growth - but it has to be serviced and repaid, which matters more when profits wobble.

From the latest reported balance sheet. Cash and debt levels change, and some borrowing is normal - this is context, not a judgment.

Over the past year to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only - reinvesting the dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

A balance check, not a score or verdict.

The bull case3
  • Strong double-digit revenue growth: How fast the company's sales grew versus a year ago. shows healthy demand for products
  • Solid gross margins suggest the company has a good handle on production costs
  • Established market presence with a multi-billion dollar valuation
The catch3
  • Earnings have declined significantly, suggesting rising costs or operational challenges
  • The current price-to-earnings ratio is quite high, reflecting high expectations
  • Very low dividend yield: The yearly dividend as a percentage of the share price - roughly the income you'd earn from dividends alone. offers little immediate income for shareholders
Key risks3
  • Rapidly changing technology could make current products less relevant
  • High reliance on global supply chains makes the company vulnerable to trade disruptions
  • Intense competition in the electronics sector could force lower prices and thinner margins
What would flip the thesis

The write-up's own warning lights — if these start happening, the case above changes.

  • A sustained return to positive earnings growth would suggest the current profit dip was temporary
  • A significant drop in revenue growth would indicate that demand for their products is cooling
