United States Steel Corporation share dividends

3%

Dividend payout ratio: 2.68% of net profits

Recently United States Steel Corporation has paid out, on average, around 2.68% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.92% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United States Steel Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.92% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In United States Steel Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.2 per share.

While United States Steel Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that United States Steel Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

Have United States Steel Corporation's shares ever split?

United States Steel Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 13 May 2005. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your United States Steel Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for United States Steel Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted United States Steel Corporation's share price.

United States Steel Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, United States Steel Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $16.2632 up to $31.4748. 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 States Steel Corporation's is 2.1397. This would suggest that United States Steel Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
