Astec Industries share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 28.26% of net profits
Recently Astec Industries has paid out, on average, around 28.26% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Astec Industries shareholders could enjoy a 1.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Astec Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.52 per share.
While Astec Industries's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Astec Industries may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Astec Industries's most recent dividend payout was on 29 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Astec Industries's shares ever split?
Astec Industries's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 January 1999. 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 Astec Industries shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Astec Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Astec Industries's share price.
Astec Industries share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Astec Industries's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.3436 up to $51.1179. 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 Astec Industries's is 1.269. This would suggest that Astec Industries's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
