Central Asia Metals has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 10.14% of its share value annually.
Central Asia Metals has paid out, on average, around 44.3% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 10.14% 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 10.14% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Central Asia Metals's case, that would currently equate to about 28.2p per share.
While Central Asia Metals's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 September 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Central Asia Metals's shares have ranged in value from as little as 171.0779p up to 259.8027p. 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 Central Asia Metals's is 1.1141. This would suggest that Central Asia Metals's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
