Dividend payout ratio: 27.91% of net profits
Recently Iluka Resources has paid out, on average, around 27.91% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.7% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Iluka Resources shareholders could enjoy a 2.7% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Iluka Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.24 per share.
While Iluka Resources's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Iluka Resources 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 7 March 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Iluka Resources's shares were split on 18 March 2008.
