Valero Energy Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 13.8% of net profits
Recently Valero Energy Corporation has paid out, on average, around 13.8% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.76% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Valero Energy Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.76% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Valero Energy Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $4 per share.
While Valero Energy Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Valero Energy Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Valero Energy Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 4 September 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Valero Energy Corporation's shares ever split?
Valero Energy Corporation's shares were split on a 1094:1000 basis on 1 May 2013. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1094 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Valero Energy Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 8.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Valero Energy Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Valero Energy Corporation's share price.
Valero Energy Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Valero Energy Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $94.7065 up to $148.42. 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 Valero Energy Corporation's is 1.6494. This would suggest that Valero Energy Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
