Hess Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 18.26% of net profits
Recently Hess Corporation has paid out, on average, around 18.26% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hess Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hess Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.375 per share.
While Hess Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Hess Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

Have Hess Corporation's shares ever split?
Hess Corporation's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 31 May 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Hess Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hess Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Hess Corporation's share price.
Hess Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Hess Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $87.5795 up to $157.89. 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 Hess Corporation's is 1.5773. This would suggest that Hess Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
