Frequently asked questions

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 0.85% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 0.84% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 60% of net profits

  Polypipe Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.85% of its share value annually.

  Polypipe Group has paid out, on average, around 60% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.84% 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 0.84% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Polypipe Group's case, that would currently equate to about £0.048 per share.

  Polypipe 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 21 April 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
