Dividend payout ratio: 78.93% of net profits
Recently MPLX has paid out, on average, around 78.93% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.19% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MPLX shareholders could enjoy a 9.19% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MPLX's case, that would currently equate to about $2.96 per share.
MPLX'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.
MPLX's most recent dividend payout was on 13 February 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, MPLX's shares have ranged in value from as little as $25.6686 up to $35.37. 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 MPLX's is 1.4241. This would suggest that MPLX's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
