Dividend payout ratio: 7.67% of net profits
Recently Universal Health Services has paid out, on average, around 7.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.62% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Universal Health Services shareholders could enjoy a 0.62% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Universal Health Services's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
While Universal Health Services's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Universal Health Services is investing more in its future growth.
Universal Health Services's most recent dividend payout was on 14 September 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Universal Health Services's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 December 2009. 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 Universal Health Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Universal Health Services shares which in turn could have impacted Universal Health Services's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Universal Health Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as $82.0139 up to $158.3351. 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 Universal Health Services's is 1.2659. This would suggest that Universal Health Services's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
