Dividend payout ratio: 190.14% of net profits
Recently Incitec Pivot has paid out, on average, around 190.14% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Incitec Pivot shareholders could enjoy a 2.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Incitec Pivot's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.093 per share.
Incitec Pivot'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 12 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Incitec Pivot's shares were split on a 1.1074:1 basis on 13 November 2008. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.1074 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Incitec Pivot shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Incitec Pivot shares which in turn could have impacted Incitec Pivot's share price.
