Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 1.16% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.17% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 48.34% of net profits

UDG Healthcare has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.16% of its share value annually.

UDG Healthcare has paid out, on average, around 48.34% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.17% 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 1.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In UDG Healthcare's case, that would currently equate to about 12.5 per share.

While UDG Healthcare'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.
UDG Healthcare's shares were split on a 32:5 basis on 20 July 2003. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 32 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your UDG Healthcare shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 84.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for UDG Healthcare shares which in turn could have impacted UDG Healthcare's share price.
