Is Alcoa under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Alcoa P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.11% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 5.84% of net profits
Alcoa has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.11% of its share value annually.
Alcoa has paid out, on average, around 5.84% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.11% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.11% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Alcoa's case, that would currently equate to about 0.4 per share.
While Alcoa's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
Alcoa's most recent dividend payout was on 20 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Currently 1.07% of Alcoa shares are held by insiders and 85.942% by institutions.
Alcoa's fiscal year ends in December.
Alcoa's address is: 201 Isabella Street, Pittsburgh, PA, United States, 15212-5858
Alcoa's shares were split on a 1000:801 basis on 31 October 2016. So if you had owned 801 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alcoa shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 19.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alcoa shares which in turn could have impacted Alcoa's share price.
