Mueller Industries share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 15.69% of net profits

Recently Mueller 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), Mueller Industries shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Mueller Industries's case, that would currently equate to about $0.75 per share.

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

Mueller Industries's most recent dividend payout was on 19 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Mueller Industries's shares ever split?

Mueller Industries's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 22 October 2023 . 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 Mueller Industries shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Mueller Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Mueller Industries's share price.

Mueller Industries share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Mueller Industries's shares have ranged in value from as little as $43.8181 up to $96.5692. 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 Mueller Industries's is 1.021. This would suggest that Mueller Industries's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
