Oceania Healthcare share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 40.76% of net profits
Recently Oceania Healthcare has paid out, on average, around 40.76% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Oceania Healthcare shareholders could enjoy a 4.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Oceania Healthcare 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.044 per share.
While Oceania Healthcare 's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Oceania Healthcare 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 6 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
