Dividend payout ratio: 71.43% of net profits
Recently Aggreko has paid out, on average, around 71.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.73% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Aggreko shareholders could enjoy a 1.73% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Aggreko's case, that would currently equate to about 0.15p per share.
Aggreko's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 April 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Aggreko's shares were split on a 79:83 basis on 27 May 2014. So if you had owned 83 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 79 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Aggreko shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.1% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Aggreko shares which in turn could have impacted Aggreko's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Aggreko's shares have ranged in value from as little as 861.5p up to 873p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Aggreko's is 1.2222. This would suggest that Aggreko's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
