Shorting Dominion Energy shares

There are currently 7.5 million Dominion Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as Dominion Energy's "short interest". This figure is 6.2% up from 7.1 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Dominion Energy shares can be evaluated.

Dominion Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Dominion Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Dominion Energy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Dominion Energy shares traded daily (recently around 3.1 million). Dominion Energy's SIR currently stands at 2.44. In other words for every 100,000 Dominion Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2440 shares are currently held short.

However Dominion Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Dominion Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable Dominion Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Dominion Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Dominion Energy shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0093% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Dominion Energy shares, roughly 9 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Dominion Energy.

Dominion Energy share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 67.38% of net profits

Recently Dominion Energy has paid out, on average, around 67.38% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.36% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dominion Energy shareholders could enjoy a 3.36% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dominion Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $2.83 per share.

Dominion Energy'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.

Dominion Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 19 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Dominion Energy's shares ever split?

Dominion Energy's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 November 2007. 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 Dominion Energy shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dominion Energy shares which in turn could have impacted Dominion Energy's share price.

Dominion Energy share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Dominion Energy's shares have ranged in value from as little as $66.7537 up to $84.1052. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
