Is Aristocrat Leisure a profitable company?

Is ALL stock a buy?

Between October 2021 and May 2022, the ALL stock price took a nosedive of over 31%, from a high of A$49.65 down to around A$30.

Some investors see this drop as a buying opportunity, as the company has proven its strong ability to generate revenue and earnings for over a decade. The company has also paid dividends consistently since 2009.

Other investors are citing macroeconomic pressures brought on by geopolitical tensions as a reason not to start a position at this time.

Does ALL stock pay dividends?

Throughout 2021, the company distributed dividends twice. It paid an interim dividend of A$0.26 in May and a final dividend of A$0.15 in December for a total of A$0.41 for the year.
