Dividend payout ratio: 9.2% of net profits
Recently Lifestyle Communities has paid out, on average, around 9.2% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Lifestyle Communities shareholders could enjoy a 0.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lifestyle Communities 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.08 per share.
While Lifestyle Communities 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Lifestyle Communities is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Lifestyle Communities 's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 1 April 2013. 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 Lifestyle Communities shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lifestyle Communities shares which in turn could have impacted Lifestyle Communities 's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Lifestyle Communities 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.3745 up to $22.74. 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 Lifestyle Communities 's is 0.9002. This would suggest that Lifestyle Communities 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
