Healius share dividends

We're not expecting Healius to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Healius's shares ever split?

Healius's shares were split on a 511:493 basis on 21 August 2018. So if you had owned 493 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 511 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Healius shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Healius shares which in turn could have impacted Healius's share price.

Healius share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Healius's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.08 up to $2.6101. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

HLS.AU volatility(beta: 0.69)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Healius's is 0.691. This would suggest that Healius's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
