Dividend payout ratio: 78.02% of net profits
iomart Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.94% of its share value annually.
iomart Group has paid out, on average, around 78.02% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.94% 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 3.94% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In iomart Group's case, that would currently equate to about 6.9p per share.
iomart Group'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 5 January 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, iomart Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as 135.9812p up to 348.8887p. 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 iomart Group's is 0.8626. This would suggest that iomart Group's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
