Dividend payout ratio: 11.15% of net profits
Recently Sonic Automotive has paid out, on average, around 11.15% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.14% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sonic Automotive shareholders could enjoy a 2.14% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sonic Automotive's case, that would currently equate to about $1.03 per share.
While Sonic Automotive's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Sonic Automotive is investing more in its future growth.
Sonic Automotive's most recent dividend payout was on 13 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Sonic Automotive's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 25 January 1999. 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 Sonic Automotive shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sonic Automotive shares which in turn could have impacted Sonic Automotive's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Sonic Automotive's shares have ranged in value from as little as $33.6137 up to $61.934. 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 Sonic Automotive's is 1.853. This would suggest that Sonic Automotive's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
