How to buy Rheinmetall (RHM) shares in the UK

Rheinmetall AG (RHM) may sound like the name of a new, German "Terminator" model, but it's actually one of most imposing defence stocks in Europe right now. Investing and buying shares in Rheinmetall means owning a slice of a European defence stock that's been around since 1889.

In the past, it's been a sturdy stock to own, but recent geopolitical tensions across Europe (and further afield) has led to an explosion in the Rheinmetall share price. It may not be a stock for the faint of heart, but it could certainly be a German stock to keep an eye on.

Frequently asked questions

• Does Rheinmetall pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 0.51% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 0.51% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 93.81% of net profits

  Rheinmetall has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.51% of its share value annually.

  Rheinmetall has paid out, on average, around 93.81% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.51% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.51% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rheinmetall's case, that would currently equate to about 8.1 per share.

  Rheinmetall'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.

  Rheinmetall's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

  • Thales S-A (HO.PA): 1.54% (1.54% forward annual dividend yield)
  • BAE Systems (BA.LSE): 1.85% (1.85% forward annual dividend yield)
  • Babcock International Group (BAB.LSE): 0.66% (0.66% forward annual dividend yield)
  • Rolls-Royce (RR.LSE): 0.77% (0.77% forward annual dividend yield)

• Have Rheinmetall's shares ever split?

  Rheinmetall's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 28 September 1997. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rheinmetall shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rheinmetall shares which in turn could have impacted Rheinmetall's share price.
