Brickworks share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 24.13% of net profits
Recently Brickworks has paid out, on average, around 24.13% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.31% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Brickworks shareholders could enjoy a 2.31% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Brickworks's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.66 per share.
While Brickworks's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Brickworks is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 April 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Brickworks's shares ever split?
Brickworks's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 18 December 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Brickworks shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Brickworks shares which in turn could have impacted Brickworks's share price.
Brickworks share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Brickworks's shares have ranged in value from as little as $22.1412 up to $31.0975. 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 Brickworks's is 0.762. This would suggest that Brickworks's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
