Home Depot share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 59.49% of net profits

Recently Home Depot 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), Home Depot shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Home Depot's case, that would currently equate to about $8.84 per share.

Home Depot'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.

Home Depot's most recent dividend payout was on 11 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Home Depot's shares ever split?

Home Depot's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 30 December 1999 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Home Depot shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Home Depot shares which in turn could have impacted Home Depot's share price.

Home Depot share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Home Depot's shares have ranged in value from as little as $269.9494 up to $421.56. 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 Home Depot's is 1.008. This would suggest that Home Depot'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).
