That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Constellation Brands share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 30.19% of net profits

Recently Constellation Brands has paid out, on average, around 30.19% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.26% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Constellation Brands shareholders could enjoy a 1.26% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Constellation Brands's case, that would currently equate to about $3 per share.

While Constellation Brands's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Constellation Brands may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Constellation Brands's most recent dividend payout was on 17 May 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 May 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Constellation Brands's shares ever split?

Constellation Brands's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 May 2005. 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 Constellation Brands shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Constellation Brands shares which in turn could have impacted Constellation Brands's share price.

Constellation Brands share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Constellation Brands's shares have ranged in value from as little as $149.2793 up to $244.75. 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 Constellation Brands's is 1.1968. This would suggest that Constellation Brands's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
