Saputo stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 49.67% of net profits

Recently Saputo 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), Saputo shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Saputo's case, that would currently equate to about C$0.755 per share.

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

Saputo's most recent dividend payout was on 13 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 3 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Saputo's stocks ever split?

Saputo's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 29 September 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 Saputo stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Saputo stocks, which in turn could have impacted Saputo's stock price.

Saputo stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Saputo's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$22.4198 up to C$31.4803. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."
