Perseus Mining share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 15.4% of net profits
Recently Perseus Mining has paid out, on average, around 15.4% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.32% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Perseus Mining shareholders could enjoy a 1.32% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Perseus Mining 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.008 per share.
While Perseus Mining 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Perseus Mining is investing more in its future growth.
