What is dividend yield?

In short

The dividend yield is the ratio between the dividend paid per share and the share price, expressed as a percentage. It indicates how much income an investor can expect in relation to the price of the share. A high dividend yield can be attractive to income investors, but it must be weighed against other factors such as the stability of the dividend and the growth prospects of the company. The dividend yield can fluctuate with changes in the share price or the company's dividend policy.
