Central Asia Metals share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 33.81% of net profits
Recently Central Asia Metals has paid out, on average, around 33.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.6% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Central Asia Metals shareholders could enjoy a 2.6% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Central Asia Metals's case, that would currently equate to about 0.06p per share.
While Central Asia Metals's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Central Asia Metals 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 19 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

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).
