Dividend payout ratio: 29.23% of net profits
Recently Hecla Mining Company has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Hecla Mining Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hecla Mining Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.035 per share.
While Hecla Mining Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Hecla Mining Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Hecla Mining Company's most recent dividend payout was on 23 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 22 May 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Hecla Mining Company's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 24 March 1981 . 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 Hecla Mining Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hecla Mining Company shares which in turn could have impacted Hecla Mining Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Hecla Mining Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.3858 up to $7.6552. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Hecla Mining Company's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
