Dividend payout ratio: 20.63% of net profits
Recently Equifax has paid out, on average, around 20.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.8% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Equifax shareholders could enjoy a 0.8% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Equifax's case, that would currently equate to about $1.56 per share.
While Equifax's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Equifax is investing more in its future growth.
Equifax's most recent dividend payout was on 14 March 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Equifax's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 17 December 1995. 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 Equifax shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Equifax shares which in turn could have impacted Equifax's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Equifax's shares have ranged in value from as little as $145.422 up to $241.88. 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 Equifax's is 1.4469. This would suggest that Equifax's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
