Dividend payout ratio: 54.81% of net profits
Recently McDonald’s Corporation has paid out, on average, around 54.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.45% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), McDonald’s Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.45% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In McDonald’s Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $6.38 per share.
McDonald’s Corporation'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.
McDonald’s Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
McDonald’s Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 7 March 1999. 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 McDonald’s Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for McDonald’s Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted McDonald’s Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, McDonald’s Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $242.8844 up to $300.6793. 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 McDonald’s Corporation's is 0.708. This would suggest that McDonald’s Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
