That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals share dividends

6%

Dividend payout ratio: 5.81% of net profits

Recently Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals has paid out, on average, around 5.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.09% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals shareholders could enjoy a 0.09% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.025 per share.

While Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals is investing more in its future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 September 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals's shares ever split?

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 11 November 2010. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals shares which in turn could have impacted Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals's share price.
