Dividend payout ratio: 1100% of net profits
Recently McPherson's has paid out, on average, around 1100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), McPherson's shareholders could enjoy a 8.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In McPherson's 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.105 per share.
McPherson's '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 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
McPherson's 's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 13 June 1996. So if you had owned 4 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 McPherson's shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for McPherson's shares which in turn could have impacted McPherson's 's share price.
