Imperial Oil stock dividends

Imperial Oil dividend payout ratio: 26.21% of net profits

Recently Imperial Oil has paid out, on average, around 26.21% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.06% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Imperial Oil shareholders could enjoy a 2.06% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Imperial Oil's case, that would currently equate to about C$2.76 per share.

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

Imperial Oil's next dividend payout is expected around January 1, 2026. To benefit, you'll need to buy Imperial Oil stocks before December 3, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Imperial Oil stock performance metrics

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

• Imperial Oil's P/E ratio

  Imperial Oil'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 18x. In other words, Imperial Oil shares trade at around 18 times recent earnings.

• Imperial Oil's PEG ratio

  Imperial Oil's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 0.53. 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 Imperial Oil's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Imperial Oil's EBITDA

  Imperial Oil's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is C$8.4 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 Imperial Oil stock ever split?

Imperial Oil's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on May 16, 2006. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Imperial Oil stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Imperial Oil stocks, which in turn could have impacted Imperial Oil's stock price.

How volatile is Imperial Oil stock?

Over the last 12 months, Imperial Oil's stocks price has ranged from C$82.20 to as high as C$141.17. Imperial Oil's beta measurement of stock volatility is 0.99. For comparison, the market (Toronto Stock Exchange) average beta is 1. This would suggest that Imperial Oil's stocks are less volatile than average (on this exchange).
