Walmart stock dividends

Walmart dividend payout ratio: 35% of net profits

Recently Walmart has paid out, on average, around 35% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.76% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are not a guarantee of future payouts), Walmart shareholders could enjoy a 0.76% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Walmart's case, that would currently equate to about 0.94 per share.

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

Walmart's next dividend payout is expected around January 4, 2027. To benefit, you'll need to buy before May 8, 2026.

Walmart stock performance metrics

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

• Walmart's P/E ratio

  Walmart'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 48x.

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

• Walmart's PEG ratio

  Walmart's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio comes out to about 4.8742.

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

• Walmart's EBITDA

  Walmart's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $44 billion.

Has Walmart stock ever split?

Walmart's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on February 25, 2024. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Walmart stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 200% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Walmart stocks, which in turn could have impacted Walmart's stock price.

How volatile is Walmart stock?

Over the last 12 months, Walmart's stocks price has ranged from $91.30 to as high as $134.41. Walmart's beta measurement of stock volatility is 0.65. For comparison, the market () average beta is 1. This would suggest that Walmart'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 Walmart's beta stock volatility rating.
