Estia Health share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 66.43% of net profits
Recently Estia Health has paid out, on average, around 66.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.36% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Estia Health shareholders could enjoy a 2.36% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Estia Health's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.046 per share.
Estia Health'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 25 February 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Estia Health share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Estia Health's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.88 up to $2.5726. 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 Estia Health's is 1.2479. This would suggest that Estia Health's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
