Dividend payout ratio: 36.36% of net profits
Recently Methode Electronics has paid out, on average, around 36.36% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Methode Electronics shareholders could enjoy a 4.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Methode Electronics's case, that would currently equate to about $0.56 per share.
While Methode Electronics's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Methode Electronics may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Methode Electronics's most recent dividend payout was on 25 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Methode Electronics's shares were split on a 10000:3742 basis on 29 April 2001. So if you had owned 3742 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 Methode Electronics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 62.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Methode Electronics shares which in turn could have impacted Methode Electronics's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Methode Electronics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.4531 up to $32.7249. 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 Methode Electronics's is 0.713. This would suggest that Methode Electronics's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
