Dividend payout ratio: 65.46% of net profits
Recently Star Gas Partners has paid out, on average, around 65.46% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.99% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Star Gas Partners shareholders could enjoy a 5.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Star Gas Partners's case, that would currently equate to about $0.67 per share.
Star Gas Partners'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.
Star Gas Partners's most recent dividend payout was on 6 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Star Gas Partners's shares were split on a 20:1 basis on 22 December 2013. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 20 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Star Gas Partners shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 95% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Star Gas Partners shares which in turn could have impacted Star Gas Partners's share price.
