Dividend Yield

Dividend yield is annual dividends divided by the current price, shown as a percentage.

Por que importa

Yield helps compare income potential, but very high yield can also signal higher risk.

Exemplo simples

If a stock pays $2 yearly and costs $50, the dividend yield is 4%.

Erros comuns

  • Choosing investments only by the highest yield.
  • Ignoring whether the dividend is sustainable.
  • Forgetting that price drops can make yield look artificially high.
