Medical Properties Trust share dividends

2%

Dividend payout ratio: 2.32% of net profits

Recently Medical Properties Trust has paid out, on average, around 2.32% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 14.65% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Medical Properties Trust shareholders could enjoy a 14.65% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Medical Properties Trust's case, that would currently equate to about $1.16 per share.

While Medical Properties Trust's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Medical Properties Trust is investing more in its future growth.

Medical Properties Trust's most recent dividend payout was on 13 July 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Medical Properties Trust share price volatility
