Truist Financial stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 57.3% of net profits

Recently Truist Financial has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Truist Financial shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Truist Financial's case, that would currently equate to about $2.08 per share.

Truist Financial'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.

Truist Financial's most recent dividend payout was on 1 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 7 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Truist Financial's stocks ever split?

Truist Financial's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 August 1998 . 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 Truist Financial stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Truist Financial stocks, which in turn could have impacted Truist Financial's stock price.

Truist Financial stock price volatility
