Dividend payout ratio: 5431.82% of net profits
Recently CareTech Holdings has paid out, on average, around 5431.82% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), CareTech Holdings shareholders could enjoy a 2.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In CareTech Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about 0.12p per share.
CareTech Holdings'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.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 22 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, CareTech Holdings's shares have ranged in value from as little as 282.5745p up to 532p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while CareTech Holdings's is 0.4591. This would suggest that CareTech Holdings's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
