We're not expecting Nicholas Financial to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Nicholas Financial's shares were split on a 1.1:1 basis on 17 November 2009 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1.1 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Nicholas Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Nicholas Financial shares which in turn could have impacted Nicholas Financial's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Nicholas Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.2901 up to $7.03. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Nicholas Financial's is 0.945. This would suggest that Nicholas Financial's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
