Dividend payout ratio: 269.01% of net profits
Recently MJ Gleeson has paid out, on average, around 269.01% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.1% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MJ Gleeson shareholders could enjoy a 6.1% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MJ Gleeson's case, that would currently equate to about 0.34p per share.
MJ Gleeson'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 March 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
MJ Gleeson's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 6 July 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your MJ Gleeson shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for MJ Gleeson shares which in turn could have impacted MJ Gleeson's share price.
Over the last 12 months, MJ Gleeson's shares have ranged in value from as little as 512p up to 996.9397p. 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 MJ Gleeson's is 1.1044. This would suggest that MJ Gleeson'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).
