Papa Johns International share dividends

68%

Dividend payout ratio: 68.15% of net profits

Recently Papa Johns International has paid out, on average, around 68.15% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.9% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Papa Johns International shareholders could enjoy a 3.9% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Papa Johns International's case, that would currently equate to about $1.8 per share.

Papa Johns International'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.

Papa Johns International's most recent dividend payout was on 30 May 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Papa Johns International's shares ever split?

Papa Johns International's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 29 December 2013. 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 Papa Johns International shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Papa Johns International shares which in turn could have impacted Papa Johns International's share price.

Papa Johns International share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Papa Johns International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $46.2 up to $84.0025. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

PZZA.US volatility(beta: 1.11)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Papa Johns International's is 1.108. This would suggest that Papa Johns International'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).
