Sinclair Broadcast Group share dividends

59%

Dividend payout ratio: 58.82% of net profits

Recently Sinclair Broadcast Group has paid out, on average, around 58.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.01% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sinclair Broadcast Group shareholders could enjoy a 6.01% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sinclair Broadcast Group's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.

Sinclair Broadcast Group'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.

Sinclair Broadcast Group's most recent dividend payout was on 12 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Sinclair Broadcast Group's shares ever split?

Sinclair Broadcast Group's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 28 May 1998. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Sinclair Broadcast Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sinclair Broadcast Group shares which in turn could have impacted Sinclair Broadcast Group's share price.

Sinclair Broadcast Group share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Sinclair Broadcast Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.0014 up to $16.855. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

SBGI.US volatility(beta: 1.53)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Sinclair Broadcast Group's is 1.531. This would suggest that Sinclair Broadcast Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
