Accenture stock dividends
Accenture dividend payout ratio: 46.95% of net profits
Recently Accenture has paid out, on average, around 46.95% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.61% of the current stock value.
This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Accenture shareholders could enjoy a 2.61% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Accenture's case, that would currently equate to about $6.07 per share.
While Accenture's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Accenture may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Accenture's next dividend payout is expected around November 14, 2025. To benefit, you'll need to buy Accenture stocks before October 10, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
