Dividend Analysis

Dividend Yield measures how much income a stock pays relative to its price.

Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend per Share / Stock Price) × 100

Income from dividends:

  • Annual Income = Annual Dividend per Share × Number of Shares
  • Monthly Income = Annual Income / 12

Typical dividend yields:

  • High-yield stocks: 4–8%
  • S&P 500 average: 1.3–2%
  • REITs: 3–6%
  • Utility stocks: 3–5%
  • Growth stocks: 0–1%

Key considerations:

  • Higher yield is not always better — it may signal a falling stock price
  • Look for companies with consistent dividend growth
  • Dividend payout ratio (dividends / earnings) above 80% may be unsustainable
  • Qualified dividends are taxed at lower capital gains rates

Note: Past dividends do not guarantee future payments. Companies can cut or eliminate dividends at any time.
