Goodman Group share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 37.5% of net profits

Recently Goodman Group has paid out, on average, around 37.5% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.65% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Goodman Group shareholders could enjoy a 1.65% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Goodman Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.3 per share.

While Goodman Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Goodman Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 June 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Goodman Group's shares ever split?

Goodman Group's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 3 April 2012. 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 Goodman Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Goodman Group shares which in turn could have impacted Goodman Group's share price.

Goodman Group share price volatility
