JB Hunt Transport Services share dividends

19%

Dividend payout ratio: 18.64% of net profits

Recently JB Hunt Transport Services has paid out, on average, around 18.64% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.01% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), JB Hunt Transport Services shareholders could enjoy a 1.01% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In JB Hunt Transport Services's case, that would currently equate to about $1.62 per share.

While JB Hunt Transport Services's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that JB Hunt Transport Services is investing more in its future growth.

JB Hunt Transport Services's most recent dividend payout was on 26 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have JB Hunt Transport Services's shares ever split?

JB Hunt Transport Services's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 24 May 2005. 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 JB Hunt Transport Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for JB Hunt Transport Services shares which in turn could have impacted JB Hunt Transport Services's share price.

JB Hunt Transport Services share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, JB Hunt Transport Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as $152.5197 up to $199.7377. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

JBHT.US volatility(beta: 1.13)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while JB Hunt Transport Services's is 1.133. This would suggest that JB Hunt Transport Services'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).
