That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

TPG Telecom share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 13.75% of net profits

Recently TPG Telecom has paid out, on average, around 13.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.57% of the current stock value.

In TPG Telecom's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.05 per share.

While TPG Telecom's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that TPG Telecom is investing more in its future growth.
