AvalonBay Communities share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 79.16% of net profits
Recently AvalonBay Communities has paid out, on average, around 79.16% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.86% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AvalonBay Communities shareholders could enjoy a 3.86% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AvalonBay Communities's case, that would currently equate to about $6.36 per share.
AvalonBay Communities'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.
AvalonBay Communities's most recent dividend payout was on 16 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have AvalonBay Communities's shares ever split?
AvalonBay Communities's shares were split on a 8:9 basis on 6 January 2013. So if you had owned 9 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 8 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AvalonBay Communities shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 12.5% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for AvalonBay Communities shares which in turn could have impacted AvalonBay Communities's share price.
AvalonBay Communities share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, AvalonBay Communities's shares have ranged in value from as little as $156.7869 up to $252.0195. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
