Ventas stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 9000% of net profits

Recently Ventas has paid out, on average, around 9000% 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), Ventas shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ventas's case, that would currently equate to about $1.8 per share.

Ventas'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.

Ventas's most recent dividend payout was on 15 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 30 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Ventas's stocks ever split?

Ventas's stocks were split on a 8757:10000 basis on 17 August 2015 . So if you had owned 10000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 8757 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ventas stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 14.2% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Ventas stocks, which in turn could have impacted Ventas's stock price.

Ventas stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Ventas's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $40.7978 up to $67.61. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Ventas's is 1.39. This would suggest that Ventas's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
