Abbott Laboratories share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 46.62% of net profits
Recently Abbott Laboratories has paid out, on average, around 46.62% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.03% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Abbott Laboratories shareholders could enjoy a 2.03% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Abbott Laboratories's case, that would currently equate to about $2 per share.
While Abbott Laboratories's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Abbott Laboratories may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Abbott Laboratories's most recent dividend payout was on 14 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 July 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Abbott Laboratories's shares ever split?
Abbott Laboratories's shares were split on a 10000:4798 basis on 1 January 2013. So if you had owned 4798 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Abbott Laboratories shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 52% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Abbott Laboratories shares which in turn could have impacted Abbott Laboratories's share price.
Abbott Laboratories share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Abbott Laboratories's shares have ranged in value from as little as $91.9272 up to $115.83. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Abbott Laboratories's is 0.6732. This would suggest that Abbott Laboratories's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
