Dividend payout ratio: 54.23% of net profits
Recently The AES Corporation has paid out, on average, around 54.23% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), The AES Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The AES Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.625 per share.
The AES Corporation'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 AES Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 February 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 January 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
The AES Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 1 June 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your The AES Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The AES Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted The AES Corporation's share price.
