What does Dividend Yield tell you?

The dividend yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price. It is the interest rate you "earn" on your shares.

Strategy Tip: Yield-focused investors often look for "Dividend Aristocrats"—companies that have consistently increased their payouts for over 25 years. While a high yield is tempting, always cross-reference it with the Payout Ratio to ensure the company has enough earnings to cover these payments.
