Dividend payout ratio: 48.2% of net profits
Recently MEDIFAST has paid out, on average, around 48.2% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.04% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MEDIFAST shareholders could enjoy a 8.04% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MEDIFAST's case, that would currently equate to about $6.57 per share.
While MEDIFAST's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that MEDIFAST may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
MEDIFAST's most recent dividend payout was on 9 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, MEDIFAST's shares have ranged in value from as little as $80.52 up to $183.5243. 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 MEDIFAST's is 1.2607. This would suggest that MEDIFAST's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
