Dividend payout ratio: 41.96% of net profits
Recently Gap has paid out, on average, around 41.96% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Gap shareholders could enjoy a 2.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Gap's case, that would currently equate to about $0.6 per share.
While Gap's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Gap may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Gap's most recent dividend payout was on 30 April 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 April 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Gap's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 21 June 1999. So if you had owned 2 shares 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 Gap shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gap shares which in turn could have impacted Gap's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Gap's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.9052 up to $28.4074. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Gap's is 2.283. This would suggest that Gap's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
