Dividend Yield

Dividend Yield is a financial metric that measures the amount of dividends paid out by a company in relation to its share price. It is calculated by dividing the annual dividend per share by the current market price per share. The result gives a percentage that represents the return on investment that an investor can expect through dividends alone. A higher dividend yield indicates a higher return on investment, but it's important to consider other factors such as the company's financial stability and growth potential before making any investment decisions.
