The Mosaic Company stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 36.8% of net profits

Recently The Mosaic Company 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), The Mosaic Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Mosaic Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.83 per share.

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

The Mosaic Company's most recent dividend payout was on 18 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 4 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have The Mosaic Company's stocks ever split?

The Mosaic Company's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 30 November 1995 . 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 The Mosaic Company stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for The Mosaic Company stocks, which in turn could have impacted The Mosaic Company's stock price.

The Mosaic Company stock price volatility

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while The Mosaic Company's is 1.36. This would suggest that The Mosaic Company's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
