Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 6.05% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 6.05% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 50% of net profits

B2Gold has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 6.05% of its share value annually.

B2Gold has paid out, on average, around 50% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 6.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In B2Gold's case, that would currently equate to about 0.16 per share.

B2Gold'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.

B2Gold's most recent dividend payout was on 19 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
B2Gold's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 29 December 2008. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your B2Gold shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for B2Gold shares which in turn could have impacted B2Gold's share price.
