Dividend payout ratio: 38.81% of net profits
Recently Luxfer has paid out, on average, around 38.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.32% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Luxfer shareholders could enjoy a 3.32% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Luxfer's case, that would currently equate to about $0.52 per share.
While Luxfer's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Luxfer may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Luxfer's most recent dividend payout was on 31 January 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 January 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Luxfer's shares have ranged in value from as little as $12.5988 up to $19.2795. 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 Luxfer's is 0.9747. This would suggest that Luxfer's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
