Dividend payout ratio: 1.59% of net profits
Recently Saga Communications has paid out, on average, around 1.59% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Saga Communications shareholders could enjoy a 3.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Saga Communications's case, that would currently equate to about $0.68 per share.
While Saga Communications's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Saga Communications is investing more in its future growth.
Saga Communications's most recent dividend payout was on 21 October 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 September 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Saga Communications's shares were split on a 4:3 basis on 17 January 2013. So if you had owned 3 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Saga Communications shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 25% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Saga Communications shares which in turn could have impacted Saga Communications's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Saga Communications's shares have ranged in value from as little as $20.9966 up to $29.75. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
