Seagate Technology share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 97.9% of net profits

Recently Seagate Technology has paid out, on average, around 100% 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), Seagate Technology shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Seagate Technology's case, that would currently equate to about $2.8 per share.

Seagate Technology'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.

Seagate Technology's most recent dividend payout was on 6 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Seagate Technology's is 1.062. This would suggest that Seagate Technology'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).
