Frequently asked questions
How is dividend yield calculated?
Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the share price, shown as a percentage. A $2 dividend on a $50 share is a 4% yield.
Is a higher yield always better?
Not necessarily. A very high yield can signal a falling share price or an unsustainable dividend. Consider the company’s health too.
