Dividend payout ratio: 15.57% of net profits
Recently Acme United Corporation has paid out, on average, around 15.57% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.65% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Acme United Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.65% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Acme United Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.52 per share.
While Acme United Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Acme United Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Acme United Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 27 January 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 January 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Acme United Corporation's shares were split on a 4:3 basis on 25 July 1983. So if you had owned 3 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Acme United Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 25% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Acme United Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Acme United Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Acme United Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.6362 up to $47.7854. 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 MKT average) beta is 1, while Acme United Corporation's is 1.0993. This would suggest that Acme United Corporation's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
