United Overseas Australia share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 100% of net profits
Recently United Overseas Australia has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United Overseas Australia shareholders could enjoy a 3.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In United Overseas Australia 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.02 per share.
United Overseas Australia '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 18 May 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have United Overseas Australia 's shares ever split?
United Overseas Australia 's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 2 October 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your United Overseas Australia shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for United Overseas Australia shares which in turn could have impacted United Overseas Australia 's share price.
