General Dynamics Corporation stock dividends

General Dynamics Corporation dividend payout ratio: 39% of net profits

Recently General Dynamics Corporation has paid out, on average, around 39% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.75% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are not a guarantee of future payouts), General Dynamics Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.75% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In General Dynamics Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about 6.09 per share.

While General Dynamics Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that General Dynamics Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

General Dynamics Corporation's next dividend payout is expected around August 7, 2026. To benefit, you'll need to buy before July 2, 2026.

General Dynamics Corporation stock performance metrics

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

• General Dynamics Corporation's P/E ratio

  General Dynamics Corporation'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.

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

• General Dynamics Corporation's PEG ratio

  General Dynamics Corporation's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio comes out to about 2.6027.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in General Dynamics Corporation's expected earnings growth.

• General Dynamics Corporation's EBITDA

  General Dynamics Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $6.5 billion.

Has General Dynamics Corporation stock ever split?

General Dynamics Corporation's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on March 26, 2006. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your General Dynamics Corporation stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 100% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for General Dynamics Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted General Dynamics Corporation's stock price.
