Southwest Gas's PEG ratio

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Southwest Gas's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Southwest Gas share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 85.52% of net profits
Recently Southwest Gas 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), Southwest Gas shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Southwest Gas's case, that would currently equate to about $2.48 per share.
Southwest Gas'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.
Southwest Gas's most recent dividend payout was on 2 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 17 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
