Centuria Capital share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 210.87% of net profits

Recently Centuria Capital has paid out, on average, around 210.87% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.58% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Centuria Capital shareholders could enjoy a 4.58% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Centuria Capital's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.1 per share.

Centuria Capital'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 28 June 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
