Dividend payout ratio: 215.56% of net profits
Recently Great Ajax has paid out, on average, around 215.56% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.62% 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 7.62% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Great Ajax's case, that would currently equate to about $0.47 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 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
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.
Over the last 12 months, Great Ajax's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.98 up to $6.05. 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 average) beta is 1, while Great Ajax's is 1.845. This would suggest that Great Ajax's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
