Medical Properties Trust share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 1054.55% of net profits

Recently Medical Properties Trust has paid out, on average, around 1100% 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), Medical Properties Trust shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Medical Properties Trust's case, that would currently equate to about $0.6 per share.

Medical Properties Trust'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.

Medical Properties Trust's most recent dividend payout was on 9 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Medical Properties Trust share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Medical Properties Trust's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.7085 up to $6.55. 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 Medical Properties Trust's is 1.332. This would suggest that Medical Properties Trust's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
