How this list is built
Forward dividend yield: the expected annual dividend as a share of today's price. A yield is only ranked when it roughly matches the dividends actually paid over the past year, so one-off special dividends and data errors don't top the list. Yields above 15% are excluded.
It ranks the 67 UK stocks in Fisclear's coverage with reliable data for this measure, not every listed company. Reports that fail our data sanity checks are left out. See the methodology. This is information, not investment advice.
