Dividend payout ratio: 23.44% of net profits
Recently Loblaw has paid out, on average, around 23.44% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.55% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Loblaw shareholders could enjoy a 1.55% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Loblaw's case, that would currently equate to about C$1.661 per share.
While Loblaw's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Loblaw is investing more in its future growth.
Loblaw's most recent dividend payout was on 1 October 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 September 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Loblaw's shares were split on a 1244:1000 basis on 2 November 2018. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1244 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Loblaw shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 19.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Loblaw shares which in turn could have impacted Loblaw's share price.
