Fortis stock dividends

Fortis dividend payout ratio: 73.1% of net profits

Recently Fortis has paid out, on average, around 73.1% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.49% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Fortis shareholders could enjoy a 3.49% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Fortis's case, that would currently equate to about C$2.46 per share.

Fortis'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.

Fortis's most recent dividend payout was on December 1, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by November 17, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Fortis stock performance metrics

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

• Fortis's P/E ratio

  Fortis'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 22x. In other words, Fortis shares trade at around 22 times recent earnings.

• Fortis's PEG ratio

  Fortis's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 3.0737. 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 Fortis's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Fortis's EBITDA

  Fortis's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is C$5.6 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Fortis stock ever split?

Fortis's stocks were split on a 4:1 basis on October 11, 2005. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fortis stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 75% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Fortis stocks, which in turn could have impacted Fortis's stock price.

How volatile is Fortis stock?

Over the last 12 months, Fortis's stocks price has ranged from C$55.88 to as high as C$73.63. Fortis's beta measurement of stock volatility is 0.40.
