China Mobile share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 943.18% of net profits
Recently China Mobile has paid out, on average, around 943.18% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.18% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), China Mobile shareholders could enjoy a 7.18% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In China Mobile's case, that would currently equate to about $1.97 per share.
China Mobile'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.
China Mobile's most recent dividend payout was on 9 October 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 26 August 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have China Mobile's shares ever split?
China Mobile's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 5 July 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your China Mobile shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for China Mobile shares which in turn could have impacted China Mobile's share price.
China Mobile share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, China Mobile's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 China Mobile's is 0.502. This would suggest that China Mobile's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
