Dividend payout ratio: 94.3% of net profits
Recently Avista Corporation has paid out, on average, around 94.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.33% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Avista Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 5.33% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Avista Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.8 per share.
Avista 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.
Avista Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 September 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Avista Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 9 November 1993. 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 Avista Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Avista Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Avista Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Avista Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $32.27 up to $44.0331. 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 Avista Corporation's is 0.5124. This would suggest that Avista Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
