Understanding Dividend Yield
The Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price. It is represented as a percentage and helps income-seeking investors compare the cash flow yields of different equities.
The Dividend Yield Formula
Dividend Yield = ( Annual Dividend per Share / Stock Price ) × 100
Annual Dividend per Share is computed by multiplying the periodic dividend distribution by the payment frequency:
- Quarterly (Frequency = 4): Periodic dividend × 4
- Monthly (Frequency = 12): Periodic dividend × 12
- Semi-Annually (Frequency = 2): Periodic dividend × 2
- Annually (Frequency = 1): Periodic dividend × 1
