NL Industries share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 2.4% of net profits
Recently NL Industries has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), NL Industries shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NL Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.35 per share.
While NL Industries's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that NL Industries is investing more in its future growth.
NL Industries's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 150% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for NL Industries shares which in turn could have impacted NL Industries's share price.
