Dividend Yield
Not all of the tools of fundamental analysis work for every investor on every stock. If you are looking for high growth technology stocks, they are unlikely to turn up in any stock screens you run looking for dividend paying characteristics.
However, if you are a value investor or looking for dividend income then there are a couple of measurements that are specific to you. For dividend investors, one of the telling metrics is Dividend Yield.
This measurement tells you what percentage return a company pays out to shareholders in the form of dividends. Older, well-established companies tend to payout a higher percentage then do younger companies and their dividend history can be more consistent.
You calculate the Dividend Yield by taking the annual dividend per share and divide by the stock’s price.
Dividend Yield = annual dividend per share / stock's price per share
For example, if a company’s annual dividend is Rs. 1.50 and the stock trades at Rs. 25, the Dividend Yield is 6%. (Rs.1.50 / Rs.25 = 0.06)
