Dividend payout ratio: 20.53% of net profits
Recently KLA-Tencor Corporation has paid out, on average, around 20.53% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.16% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), KLA-Tencor Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.16% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In KLA-Tencor Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $5.2 per share.
While KLA-Tencor Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that KLA-Tencor Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
KLA-Tencor Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 31 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
KLA-Tencor Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 January 2000. 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 KLA-Tencor Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for KLA-Tencor Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted KLA-Tencor Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, KLA-Tencor Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $247.006 up to $520.19. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while KLA-Tencor Corporation's is 1.352. This would suggest that KLA-Tencor 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).
