ConocoPhillips share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 38.1% of net profits
Recently ConocoPhillips has paid out, on average, around 38.1% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.79% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), ConocoPhillips shareholders could enjoy a 2.79% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In ConocoPhillips's case, that would currently equate to about $3.52 per share.
While ConocoPhillips's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that ConocoPhillips may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
