Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 9.22% of stock value

Forward annual dividend yield: 9.22% of stock value

Dividend payout ratio: 92.37% of net profits

Daily Mail and General Trust has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 9.22% of its share value annually.

Daily Mail and General Trust has paid out, on average, around 92.37% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.22% 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 9.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Daily Mail and General Trust's case, that would currently equate to about 24.9p per share.

Daily Mail and General Trust'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 17 December 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
