Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 51.56% of net profits
Recently Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co has paid out, on average, around 51.56% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.62% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co shareholders could enjoy a 2.62% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.91 per share.
Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co'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 16 April 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co's shares ever split?

However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co shares which in turn could have impacted Washington H Soul Pattinson-and-Co's share price.
