Primerica share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 18.66% of net profits
Recently Primerica has paid out, on average, around 18.66% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.43% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Primerica shareholders could enjoy a 1.43% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Primerica's case, that would currently equate to about $2.4 per share.
While Primerica's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Primerica is investing more in its future growth.
Primerica's most recent dividend payout was on 12 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Primerica share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Primerica's shares have ranged in value from as little as $108.559 up to $195.0087. 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 Primerica's is 1.1833. This would suggest that Primerica's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
