Dividend Yield
Dividend yield is a percentage ratio that measures the dividends paid per share relative to the current share price, calculated as Dividend Yield = Dividend Per Share / Current Share Price. It shows how much a company returns to shareholders per outstanding share. A high dividend yield suggests the company is sharing more profits with investors, reflecting a shareholder-friendly policy. Conversely, a low yield may indicate retained earnings for growth or limited profit distribution. This metric helps investors assess income potential from owning a stock.
