In Eagle Materials's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.

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

However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Eagle Materials shares which in turn could have impacted Eagle Materials's share price.

Eagle Materials share price volatility

This would suggest that Eagle Materials's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
