General Electric Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 10.24% of net profits
Recently General Electric Company has paid out, on average, around 10.24% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.36% 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 0.36% 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 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have General Electric Company's shares ever split?
General Electric Company's shares were split on a 1281:1000 basis on 3 January 2023. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1281 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your General Electric Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 21.9% lower 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.
General Electric Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, General Electric Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $46.6196 up to $94.94. 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 1.1898. 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).
