Waypoint REIT share dividends

87%

Dividend payout ratio: 87.41% of net profits

Recently Waypoint REIT has paid out, on average, around 87.41% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.01% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Waypoint REIT shareholders could enjoy a 7.01% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Waypoint REIT 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.163 per share.

Waypoint REIT '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 28 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Waypoint REIT 's shares ever split?

Waypoint REIT 's shares were split on a 9382:10000 basis on 9 November 2021. So if you had owned 10000 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 9382 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Waypoint REIT shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6.6% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Waypoint REIT shares which in turn could have impacted Waypoint REIT 's share price.

Waypoint REIT share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Waypoint REIT 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.08 up to $2.722. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

WPR.AU volatility(beta: 0.51)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Waypoint REIT 's is 0.508. This would suggest that Waypoint REIT 's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
