Metro stock dividends

Metro dividend payout ratio: 31.22% of net profits

Recently Metro has paid out, on average, around 31.22% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.47% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Metro shareholders could enjoy a 1.47% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Metro's case, that would currently equate to about C$1.48 per share.

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

Metro's most recent dividend payout was on November 12, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by October 23, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Metro stock performance metrics

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

• Metro's P/E ratio

  Metro'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 21x. In other words, Metro shares trade at around 21 times recent earnings.

• Metro's PEG ratio

  Metro's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 3.3888. 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 Metro's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Metro's EBITDA

  Metro's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is C$1.9 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 Metro stock ever split?

Metro's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on February 11, 2015. 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 Metro stocks, just the quantity.

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

How volatile is Metro stock?

Over the last 12 months, Metro's stocks price has ranged from C$86.44 to as high as C$108.37. Metro's beta measurement of stock volatility is 0.32. For comparison, the market (Toronto Stock Exchange) average beta is 1. This would suggest that Metro's stocks are less volatile than average (on this exchange).

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of Metro's beta stock volatility rating.
