Ashland Global share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 22.77% of net profits
Recently Ashland Global has paid out, on average, around 22.77% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ashland Global shareholders could enjoy a 1.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ashland Global's case, that would currently equate to about $1.27 per share.
While Ashland Global's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Ashland Global is investing more in its future growth.

Have Ashland Global's shares ever split?
Ashland Global's shares were split on a 511:250 basis on 14 May 2017. So if you had owned 250 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 511 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ashland Global shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 51.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ashland Global shares which in turn could have impacted Ashland Global's share price.
Ashland Global share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Ashland Global's shares have ranged in value from as little as $82.5071 up to $114.36. 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 Ashland Global's is 1.0038. This would suggest that Ashland Global'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).
