Scentre Group share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 255.19% of net profits
Recently Scentre Group has paid out, on average, around 255.19% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.09% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Scentre Group shareholders could enjoy a 6.09% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Scentre Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.165 per share.
Scentre Group'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 17 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Scentre Group share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Scentre Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.37 up to $3.017. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Scentre Group's is 1.407. This would suggest that Scentre Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
