AMC & BHP share price valuation
One way to have a ‘quick read’ of where the AMC share price is could be to study something like dividend yield over time. This can give us a sense of the stability of the company and whether they can consistently pay out a percentage of profits.
Remember, the dividend yield is basically the ‘cash flow’ to a shareholder, but it can fluctuate year-to-year or between payments. Currently, Amcor CDI shares have a dividend yield of around 4.83%, compared to its 5-year average of 4.38%. In other words, AMC shares are trading higher than their historical average dividend yield. Be careful how you interpret this information though – it could mean that dividends are growing, or it could mean the share price is falling, or both. In the case of AMC, the annual report shows last year’s dividend was greater than the 3-year average, so the dividend has been growing.
BHP is offering a historical dividend yield of around 5.71%, which compares to its 5-year average of 6.86%. This is just one of many ways you could put a value on BHP shares.
