We're not expecting Ouster to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
You may also wish to consider:
Ouster's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 20 April 2023 . So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ouster shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ouster shares which in turn could have impacted Ouster's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Ouster's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.84 up to $16.8789. 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 Ouster's is 2.256. This would suggest that Ouster's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
To put Ouster's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
