Dividend payout ratio: 3.89% of net profits
Alcoa Corporation has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.19% of its share value annually.
Alcoa Corporation has paid out, on average, around 3.89% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.19% 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 1.19% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Alcoa Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.3 per share.
While Alcoa Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
Alcoa Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 24 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 August 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Alcoa Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $33.55 up to $97.7241. 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 Alcoa Corporation's is 2.3188. This would suggest that Alcoa Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
