Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 2.89% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 3.83% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 37.04% of net profits

NatWest has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.89% of its share value annually.

NatWest has paid out, on average, around 37.04% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.83% 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 3.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NatWest's case, that would currently equate to about 19 per share.

While NatWest's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

NatWest's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Barclays (BARC.LSE): 1.75% (1.75% forward annual dividend yield)
- Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.LSE): 3.24% (3.27% forward annual dividend yield)
- Wells Fargo-and-Company (WFC.US): 1.93% (2.03% forward annual dividend yield)
- JPMorgan Chase-and-Co (JPM.US): 1.93% (2% forward annual dividend yield)
- Goldman Sachs Group (GS.US): 1.52% (1.96% forward annual dividend yield)
