Dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by the stock price, expressed as a percentage. It indicates how much income an investor receives relative to the investment cost.
Dividend Yield = Annual Dividends Per Share / Stock Price × 100
If a stock pays $4 in annual dividends and trades at $100, the dividend yield is 4.0%. If the stock price falls to $80, the yield rises to 5.0%.

A yield above 8% often signals a "dividend trap" — the stock price has crashed and the dividend may be cut soon. Always check the payout ratio before buying high-yield stocks.
Dividend yield changes daily with the stock price. A stock yielding 4% today could yield 3% next month if the price rises 33% — the dividend hasn't changed, just the denominator.
Comparing yields across countries is misleading without accounting for withholding tax. A 5% Australian yield may net only 3.5% after 30% withholding for US investors.
S&P 500 average dividend yield: ~1.3%. Yields above 6% warrant extra due diligence on payout sustainability.

Divide the annual dividend per share by the current stock price, then multiply by 100. For example, a $2 annual dividend on a $50 stock = 4.0% yield.
Generally 2-6% is considered good. Yields above 6% may indicate risk or a declining stock price. The S&P 500 average yield is about 1.3%.
Not necessarily. A very high yield can signal financial distress — the stock price may have dropped sharply. Always check the payout ratio and dividend history for sustainability.
