Dividend payout ratio: 77.53% of net profits
Recently Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated has paid out, on average, around 77.53% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.76% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 5.76% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $1.74 per share.
Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's most recent dividend payout was on 13 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 June 1998. 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 Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.4659 up to $40.3338. 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 Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's is 1.3308. This would suggest that Leggett-and-Platt Incorporated's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
