payout ratio

payout ratio
  Termine con il quale viene indicata la quota di utile distribuita agli azionisti. Moltiplicando l'utile per azione per il payout ratio otteniamo l'importo complessivo dei dividendi. Da notare che per le diverse categorie di azioni il payout ratio (e dunque anche il retention rate) è diverso.
