Target Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 49.38% of net profits
Recently Target Corporation has paid out, on average, around 49.38% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.05% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Target Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 3.05% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Target Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $4.38 per share.
While Target Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Target Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Target Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 20 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Target Corporation's shares ever split?
Target Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 July 2000. 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 Target Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Target Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Target Corporation's share price.
Target Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Target Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $100.4344 up to $180.6167. 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 Target Corporation's is 1.199. This would suggest that Target Corporation'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).
