Paramount Resources stock dividends

25%

Dividend payout ratio: 24.79% of net profits

Recently Paramount Resources has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Paramount Resources shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Paramount Resources's case, that would currently equate to about C$1.625 per share.

While Paramount Resources's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Paramount Resources is investing more in its future growth.

Paramount Resources's most recent dividend payout was on 30 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 15 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Paramount Resources's stocks ever split?

Paramount Resources's stocks were split on a 1066:1000 basis on 4 January 2017 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1066 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Paramount Resources stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6.2% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Paramount Resources stocks, which in turn could have impacted Paramount Resources's stock price.

Paramount Resources stock price volatility
