Dividend payout ratio: 79.17% of net profits
Recently Southern Cross Media has paid out, on average, around 79.17% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Southern Cross Media shareholders could enjoy a 9.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Southern Cross Media's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.095 per share.
Southern Cross Media'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 9 March 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Southern Cross Media's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 4 November 2020. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Southern Cross Media shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Southern Cross Media shares which in turn could have impacted Southern Cross Media's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Southern Cross Media's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.915 up to $2.3242. 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 Southern Cross Media's is 1.6446. This would suggest that Southern Cross Media's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
