Aspen Technology share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 7.95% of net profits
Recently Aspen Technology has paid out, on average, around 7.95% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.99% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Aspen Technology shareholders could enjoy a 0.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Aspen Technology's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
While Aspen Technology's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Aspen Technology is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Aspen Technology's shares ever split?
Aspen Technology's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 2 March 1997. 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 Aspen Technology shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Aspen Technology shares which in turn could have impacted Aspen Technology's share price.
Aspen Technology share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Aspen Technology's shares have ranged in value from as little as $161.7877 up to $235.1. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Aspen Technology's is 0.754. This would suggest that Aspen Technology's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
