BWX Technologies share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 28.66% of net profits
Recently BWX Technologies has paid out, on average, around 28.66% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BWX Technologies shareholders could enjoy a 1.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BWX Technologies's case, that would currently equate to about $0.89 per share.
While BWX Technologies's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that BWX Technologies may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
BWX Technologies's most recent dividend payout was on 8 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have BWX Technologies's shares ever split?
BWX Technologies's shares were split on a 1398:1000 basis on 1 July 2015. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1398 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BWX Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 28.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for BWX Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted BWX Technologies's share price.
BWX Technologies share price volatility
