Macquarie shares paying out today
If you owned Macquarie shares at market close on 10 November, you'll be eligible to receive the company's interim dividend of $2.55 per share, 40% franked.
The stock traded ex-dividend on Monday, 13 November. So, any shares you may have bought since then won't come with the rights to this interim dividend, which represents a payout ratio of 70%.
If you've owned shares longer-term, you'll already have received the $4.50 final dividend, paid out on 4 July. With a full-year payout of $7.05, Macquarie shares trade on a partly franked trailing yield of 3.9%.
This year's interim dividend was down 15% from the interim dividend of $3 per share paid the prior year.
That came amid some headwinds reported for its half-year results. This saw the company's net operating income drop 8% year on year for the six months to $7.91 billion. And net profit fell 39% to $1.42 billion.
Still the interim dividend was higher than consensus expectations and represents a 1.4% yield on its own.
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is in effect for this one. New Macquarie shares will be acquired on-market to satisfy the DRP.
