Colgate-Palmolive Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 63.3% of net profits
Recently Colgate-Palmolive Company has paid out, on average, around 63.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.64% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Colgate-Palmolive Company shareholders could enjoy a 2.64% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Colgate-Palmolive Company's case, that would currently equate to about $1.86 per share.
Colgate-Palmolive 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.
Colgate-Palmolive Company's most recent dividend payout was on 14 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 April 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares ever split?
Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 May 2013. 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 Colgate-Palmolive Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Colgate-Palmolive Company shares which in turn could have impacted Colgate-Palmolive Company's share price.
Colgate-Palmolive Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.9744 up to $82.7406. 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 Colgate-Palmolive Company's is 0.469. This would suggest that Colgate-Palmolive Company's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
