Dividend payout ratio: 83.75% of net profits
Recently BCE has paid out, on average, around 83.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.73% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BCE shareholders could enjoy a 6.73% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BCE's case, that would currently equate to about $3.68 per share.
BCE'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.
BCE's most recent dividend payout was on 14 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
BCE's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 May 1997. 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 BCE shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for BCE shares which in turn could have impacted BCE's share price.
Over the last 12 months, BCE's shares have ranged in value from as little as $38.6515 up to $55.8813. 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 BCE's is 0.4815. This would suggest that BCE's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
