Dividend payout ratio: 81.85% of net profits
Recently Southwest Gas has paid out, on average, around 81.85% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.24% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Southwest Gas shareholders could enjoy a 4.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Southwest Gas's case, that would currently equate to about $2.48 per share.
Southwest Gas'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.
Southwest Gas's most recent dividend payout was on 31 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Southwest Gas's shares have ranged in value from as little as $53.1996 up to $91.4372. 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 Southwest Gas's is 0.2723. This would suggest that Southwest Gas's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
