[12]
hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo friends today we are going learn
[16]
to learn a new topic that's called dividend per share formula
[19]
we are going to learn the formula the interpretation part and also with an
[26]
example so let's get into the nitty-gritty of the same the dividend
[30]
per share formula is basically the annual dividend which the company that
[34]
pays divided by the purchase price of the share so let's understand this
[42]
formula now before an investor it calculates the dividend yield okay this
[47]
is a new word to build a yield is basically the percentage at the stock
[53]
she or she needs to know the dividend per share which he or she calls as DPS
[58]
that's the dividend per share right so the dividend again I'll decide for you
[64]
over here so that we don't have problem the dividend per share formula is equal
[72]
to your annual dividend divided by the number of shares so since the
[81]
calculation is done after the dividend is being paid an investor will only get
[86]
to know the past records now for example if an investor wants to know the DPS of
[94]
the company he will have to look at the data of the latest your and and and also
[102]
the following year so let's start understanding this formula with the help
[108]
of an example let's take a practical example to illustrate the dividend per
[113]
share formula let's say there is a company called honey bee company then
[117]
they have paid an annual dividend as $20,000 the beginning outstanding the
[126]
beginning outstanding stock is was was let's say $4,000 and the ending stock
[134]
which was standing at $7,000 so what we need to calculate over here is the
[139]
dividend per share of honey bee company in this example we can go for a simple
[144]
average a simple average to find out the average
[148]
outstanding shares the beginning outstanding stock was 4000 and
[153]
the ending was 7000 so average will be divided by two it's going to be
[158]
5500 over here we have used a simple average and this is
[164]
our final answer the annual dividend that was been paid
[167]
was 20000 so we'll get the number here and pulled out the number
[174]
here and finally using the DPS formula we get DPS formula is equal to your
[183]
annual dividend divided by the number of shares which is going to be is equal to
[191]
20000/5500 or you can take directly
[197]
the numbers from here it's 3.64 per share so now if we want to
[203]
find out the dividend yield of the company we can do so we need to just
[207]
keep in mind that a lower dividend per share or DPS does not mean that the
[214]
company has no growth potential we need to know that dividend yield and other
[220]
financial measures to ensure whether the company has enough growth potential or
[224]
not let's understand the explanation part of the dividend per share formula
[229]
now in the in this in this formula the dividend per share the most important
[234]
part is the number of shares you can simply take the record of the beginning
[241]
shares and you can take the record of the ending shares and calculate the
[247]
simple average outstanding shares or else you can you can also go for the
[251]
weighted average you can go for the weighted average of of the number of
[257]
shares so in dividend per share we take what annual dividend and in the case of
[265]
the EPS earning per share we use the net income this is for DPS we take annual
[277]
dividend so the use of the weighted average
[281]
method is true for those companies the weighted average method of an method is
[286]
used for those basically the companies that have paid the dividend for the
[291]
existing shares like in January and issues new shares in December so you can
[298]
get an idea depending upon the approach the company and and we may choose to
[303]
calculate the method now what is exactly the use of this particular formula see
[309]
any investor would look at different stocks to find out in which he should
[313]
invest in for that investor looks at different ratios no only DPS may not
[321]
provide over an outlook for the company but if an investor can look at the other
[325]
financial ratios along with the dividend payout ratio like you can see the
[331]
dividend yield and DPS he or she would have a solid understanding of the
[337]
company now if an investor sees that the dividend payout ratio of the company is
[341]
if it is lower that means that that basically means that the company is
[346]
three investing more to increase the value of the company now before investor
[351]
ever decides to invest he or she needs to look at all the measures to find out
[356]
the holistic view of the financial affairs now this is the graph that I
[362]
wanted to show you for the three companies that have been taken this is
[365]
just a practical example that has been taken to make you understand that what
[370]
exactly company do in in real life there's this company called Colgate
[376]
Colgate a dividend per share as you can see right from 2008 or 9 onwards till
[382]
2016 it has continuously increased its dividend payout ratio it started from
[389]
0.5 that was just 0.5 dollar per share then it moved on to you can say at least
[397]
around 1.5 and of 1.6 to 1.6 Per share that's a continuous increase but at a
[404]
reducing way it's not us a complete rise in the dividend but if we see in terms
[411]
of Amazon Google they don't pay dividend at all so
[415]
that means they can be only two situations either the company's really
[418]
doing bad they have complete bad losses or the company is plowing back its funds
[427]
or the amount of the funds there that they have earned they are not paying at
[431]
all and they are reinvesting in the company's assets or for investments
[436]
which the company may do in the future course so Amazon and Google such type of
[442]
companies are not paying it that means the their plough back is 100% and the
[448]
dividend payout ratio is zero possible there is a company called Jet Airways
[452]
they are paying they are not actually paying the dividends because they have
[456]
negative earnings but some companies if they really want to be the dividend in
[462]
spite of the negative earnings then they have to follow some rules and regulation
[466]
you know and in some of some of the criteria for the same as like you know
[470]
you can pay the dividend only after paying the dividend for the past years
[475]
if that has been outstanding and you can pay only the average or dividend at the
[481]
average percentage of the last 3 years from your resolves itself now this
[492]
is basically the calculator for the dividend per share you can put some
[495]
numbers over here annual dividend let's say they are paying 20000
[499]
let's say $200 per share let's say 200000 as a total amount
[505]
they're paying as dividend okay two million and they have total 1 million in
[511]
their shares have increased one more number here so that means two per share
[518]
so as the dividend is going to reduce the dividend per share is going to
[523]
reduce because the number of shares are going to be same in if there is an
[527]
increase then the amount can change over here so what you can do you can do some
[531]
permutation and combination come out with some really good conclusion that
[535]
very exactly goes the direct relationship and where exactly it goes
[539]
the inverse relationship I hope you have got a really great insight regarding the
[544]
dividend per share formula thank everyone choose
