Dividend yield is annual dividend per share divided by share price, expressed as a percentage. It's the cash income a shareholder receives, separate from whatever happens to the stock price.
The formula
Annual Dividend per SharePrice per Share
= Dividend Yield
Why it matters
- —A high yield can mean a generous payout — or a falling share price dragging the ratio up. Check the trend, not just the number.
- —Zero yield isn't bearish — many growth companies reinvest all profit instead of paying dividends.
- —Sustainability matters more than the headline figure — compare against free cash flow, not just earnings.
