Albemarle stock dividends

Albemarle dividend payout ratio: 57.97% of net profits

Recently Albemarle has paid out, on average, around 57.97% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.26% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Albemarle shareholders could enjoy a 1.26% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Albemarle's case, that would currently equate to about $1.62 per share.

Albemarle'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.

Albemarle's next dividend payout is expected around January 2, 2026. To benefit, you'll need to buy Albemarle stocks before December 12, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Albemarle stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Albemarle stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Albemarle's P/E ratio

  Albemarle's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 0x. In other words, Albemarle shares trade at around 0 times recent earnings.

  That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

• Albemarle's PEG ratio

  Albemarle's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 16.3472. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Albemarle's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Albemarle's EBITDA

  Albemarle's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $696.9 million. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Albemarle stock ever split?

Albemarle's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on March 1, 2007. 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 Albemarle stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Albemarle stocks, which in turn could have impacted Albemarle's stock price.
