Dividend payout ratio: 75.78% of net profits
West Fraser has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.30% of its share value annually.
West Fraser has paid out, on average, around 75.78% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.85% 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 1.85% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In West Fraser's case, that would currently equate to about 1.28 per share.
West Fraser'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.
West Fraser's most recent dividend payout was on 18 October 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 28 September 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
West Fraser's fiscal year ends in December.
West Fraser's address is: 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3E8
West Fraser's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 13 January 2014. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your West Fraser shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for West Fraser shares which in turn could have impacted West Fraser's share price.
