Friedman Industries share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 12.33% of net profits

Recently Friedman Industries 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), Friedman Industries shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Friedman Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.14 per share.

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

Friedman Industries's most recent dividend payout was on 13 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Friedman Industries's shares ever split?

Friedman Industries's shares were split on a 105:100 basis on 25 April 2000 . So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 105 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Friedman Industries shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Friedman Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Friedman Industries's share price.

Friedman Industries share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Friedman Industries's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.4 up to $19.3809. 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 (NYSE MKT average) beta is 1, while Friedman Industries's is 1.385. This would suggest that Friedman 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).
