Scotts Miracle-Gro Company share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 117.86% of net profits

Recently Scotts Miracle-Gro Company 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), Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.64 per share.

Scotts Miracle-Gro Company'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.

Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's most recent dividend payout was on 5 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares ever split?

Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 9 November 2005 . 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 Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shares which in turn could have impacted Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's share price.
