Dividend payout ratio: 59.44% of net profits
Recently UNITIL Corporation has paid out, on average, around 59.44% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.67% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), UNITIL Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.67% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In UNITIL Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.59 per share.
UNITIL Corporation'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.
UNITIL Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 27 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
UNITIL Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 13 December 1992. 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 UNITIL Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for UNITIL Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted UNITIL Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, UNITIL Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.3167 up to $59.6768. 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 UNITIL Corporation's is 0.5169. This would suggest that UNITIL Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
