Dividend payout ratio: 45.02% of net profits
Recently Dow has paid out, on average, around 45.02% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dow shareholders could enjoy a 5.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dow's case, that would currently equate to about $2.8 per share.
While Dow's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Dow may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Dow's most recent dividend payout was on 10 March 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Dow's shares have ranged in value from as little as $41.7991 up to $68.3721. 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 Dow's is 1.3314. This would suggest that Dow's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
