Republic Services share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 39.63% of net profits
Recently Republic Services has paid out, on average, around 39.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.61% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Republic Services shareholders could enjoy a 1.61% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Republic Services's case, that would currently equate to about $1.875 per share.
While Republic Services's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Republic Services may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Republic Services's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 19 March 2007. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Republic Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Republic Services shares which in turn could have impacted Republic Services's share price.
Republic Services share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Republic Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as $111.9541 up to $148.0701. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
