Novo Nordisk A/S share dividends

5%

Dividend payout ratio: 5.34% of net profits

Recently Novo Nordisk A/S has paid out, on average, around 5.34% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.08% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Novo Nordisk A/S shareholders could enjoy a 1.08% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Novo Nordisk A/S's case, that would currently equate to about $7.075 per share.

While Novo Nordisk A/S's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Novo Nordisk A/S is investing more in its future growth.

Novo Nordisk A/S's most recent dividend payout was on 28 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Novo Nordisk A/S's shares ever split?

Novo Nordisk A/S's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 September 2023. 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 Novo Nordisk A/S shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Novo Nordisk A/S shares which in turn could have impacted Novo Nordisk A/S's share price.

Novo Nordisk A/S share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Novo Nordisk A/S's shares have ranged in value from as little as $93.8191 up to $201.76. 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 Novo Nordisk A/S's is 0.2421. This would suggest that Novo Nordisk A/S's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
