Dividend Stock: Dividend Yield
The dividend yield for a stock is the return you would achieve over the next 12-months, assuming that both the dividend payout and the share price remain constant for the year.
It’s calculated by dividing the expected next 12-months dividends by the share price. For example the yield would be 5% for a stock currently trading at $100 per share that is expected to pay $5 in dividends over the next year ($5 divided by $100).
