Tyson Foods share dividends

77%

Dividend payout ratio: 76.86% of net profits

Recently Tyson Foods 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), Tyson Foods shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Tyson Foods's case, that would currently equate to about $1.95 per share.

Tyson Foods'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.

Tyson Foods's most recent dividend payout was on 12 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Tyson Foods's shares ever split?

Tyson Foods's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 17 February 1997 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tyson Foods shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Tyson Foods shares which in turn could have impacted Tyson Foods's share price.

Tyson Foods share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Tyson Foods's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.5418 up to $66.88. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

TSN.US volatility(beta: 0.77)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Tyson Foods's is 0.773. This would suggest that Tyson Foods's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
