Northrop Grumman Corporation stock dividends

Northrop Grumman Corporation dividend payout ratio: 35.21% of net profits

Recently Northrop Grumman Corporation has paid out, on average, around 35.21% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.61% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Northrop Grumman Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.61% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Northrop Grumman Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $8.74 per share.

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

Northrop Grumman Corporation's next dividend payout is expected around December 17, 2025. To benefit, you'll need to buy Northrop Grumman Corporation stocks before December 1, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Northrop Grumman Corporation stock performance metrics

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

• Northrop Grumman Corporation's P/E ratio

  Northrop Grumman 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 20x. In other words, Northrop Grumman Corporation shares trade at around 20 times recent earnings.

  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.

• Northrop Grumman Corporation's PEG ratio

  Northrop Grumman Corporation's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 3.6386. 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 Northrop Grumman Corporation's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Northrop Grumman Corporation's EBITDA

  Northrop Grumman Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $6.6 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 Northrop Grumman Corporation stock ever split?

Northrop Grumman Corporation's stocks were split on a 10000:9035 basis on March 30, 2011. So, if you had owned 9035 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Northrop Grumman Corporation stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 9.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Northrop Grumman Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted Northrop Grumman Corporation's stock price.
