What is Dividend Yield?
Dividend yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price. It's expressed as a percentage.
Formula: Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend Per Share ÷ Stock Price) × 100
For example, if a stock trades at $50 and pays $2 per share annually, the dividend yield is 4%. A higher yield means more income per dollar invested — but very high yields can signal risk.
What's a Good Dividend Yield?
There's no universal "good" yield — it depends on your goals and the sector. Generally:
- 1–2%Typical for growth stocks — low yield, higher growth potential
- 2–4%Balanced — solid income with moderate growth
- 4–6%High yield — good for income investors, check sustainability
- 6%+Very high — investigate carefully, may signal risk
