Dividend payout ratio: 18.77% of net profits
Recently Virtus Health has paid out, on average, around 18.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Virtus Health shareholders could enjoy a 4.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Virtus Health 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.24 per share.
While Virtus Health 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Virtus Health is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 October 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Virtus Health 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.4387 up to $7.47. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Virtus Health 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
