Dividend payout ratio: 113.25% of net profits
Recently The Clorox Company has paid out, on average, around 113.25% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.16% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), The Clorox Company shareholders could enjoy a 3.16% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Clorox Company's case, that would currently equate to about $5.88 per share.
The Clorox Company'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 Clorox Company's most recent dividend payout was on 11 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 24 April 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
The Clorox Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 23 August 1999. 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 Clorox Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for The Clorox Company shares which in turn could have impacted The Clorox Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, The Clorox Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $117.5407 up to $157.77. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
