Description

Annual income from dividends as a percentage of the stock price. A key metric for income-oriented value investors. The dividend discount model values stocks entirely based on expected future dividends, making yield a fundamental input.

Interpretation

2-5% is the ideal range for most income investors. Very high yield (above 6%) may signal a dividend cut risk, so always check the payout ratio. Growing dividends over time matter more than a high starting yield.
