United Microelectronics share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 46.58% of net profits
Recently United Microelectronics has paid out, on average, around 46.58% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.77% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United Microelectronics shareholders could enjoy a 5.77% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In United Microelectronics's case, that would currently equate to about $3.6 per share.
While United Microelectronics's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that United Microelectronics may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
United Microelectronics's most recent dividend payout was on 21 July 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have United Microelectronics's shares ever split?
United Microelectronics's shares were split on a 1045:1000 basis on 8 August 2008. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1045 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your United Microelectronics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for United Microelectronics shares which in turn could have impacted United Microelectronics's share price.
United Microelectronics share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, United Microelectronics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.36 up to $8.96. 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 United Microelectronics's is 1.3096. This would suggest that United Microelectronics's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
