Dividend payout ratio: 55.88% of net profits
Recently Northern Star Resources has paid out, on average, around 55.88% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Northern Star Resources shareholders could enjoy a 2.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Northern Star Resources's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.19 per share.
Northern Star Resources'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 5 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Northern Star Resources's shares were split on 9 September 2009.

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Northern Star Resources's is -0.0473. This would suggest that Northern Star Resources's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Northern Star Resources has bucked the trend.
