VersaBank stock dividends

7%

Dividend payout ratio: 6.71% of net profits

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

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

VersaBank's most recent dividend payout was on 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 3 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

VersaBank stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, VersaBank's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$12.9 up to C$25.75. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

VBNK.TO volatility(beta: 1.06)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (TO average) beta is 1, while VersaBank's is 1.057. This would suggest that VersaBank's stocks are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
