Dividend payout ratio: 135.19% of net profits
Recently AP Eagers has paid out, on average, around 135.19% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.46% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AP Eagers shareholders could enjoy a 5.46% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AP Eagers's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.73 per share.
AP Eagers's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
AP Eagers's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 18 May 2012. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AP Eagers shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AP Eagers shares which in turn could have impacted AP Eagers's share price.
Over the last 12 months, AP Eagers's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.0757 up to $16.06. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while AP Eagers's is 1.613. This would suggest that AP Eagers's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
