dividend yield
Payout-to-price ratio
Dividend yield is the annual dividend a stock pays expressed as a percentage of its current share price.
A stock trading at $100 that pays $4 yearly in dividends has a 4% dividend yield.
Investors seeking income often compare dividend yields across stocks, though a very high yield may signal the market expects the dividend to be cut.
