EML Payments share dividends
We're not expecting EML Payments to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have EML Payments's shares ever split?
EML Payments's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 30 June 2011. So if you had owned 5 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 EML Payments shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for EML Payments shares which in turn could have impacted EML Payments's share price.
EML Payments share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, EML Payments's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.865 up to $5.38. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while EML Payments's is 1.7068. This would suggest that EML Payments's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
