Great Ajax share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 215.56% of net profits

Recently Great Ajax has paid out, on average, around 200% 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), Great Ajax shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Great Ajax's case, that would currently equate to about $0.33 per share.

Great Ajax'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.

Great Ajax's most recent dividend payout was on 29 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Great Ajax's shares ever split?

Great Ajax's shares were split on a 473:457 basis on 15 March 2020 . So if you had owned 457 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 473 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Great Ajax shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Great Ajax shares which in turn could have impacted Great Ajax's share price.

Great Ajax share price volatility
