Environmental score: 16.69/100

Dividend payout ratio: 15.02% of net profits
Recently General Electric Company has paid out, on average, around 15.02% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.49% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), General Electric Company shareholders could enjoy a 0.49% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In General Electric Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.
While General Electric Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that General Electric Company is investing more in its future growth.
General Electric Company's most recent dividend payout was on 24 July 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
General Electric Company's shares were split on a 1:8 basis on 1 August 2021. So if you had owned 8 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your General Electric Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 700% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for General Electric Company shares which in turn could have impacted General Electric Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, General Electric Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $63.0048 up to $115.821. 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 General Electric Company's is 1.0191. This would suggest that General Electric Company'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).
