Income from Security

Current Share Price

Yield generally refers to the amount of cash that is paid back to the owner of a security over a specific time (usually one year). It is expressed as a percentage of current market price, and usually amounts to all the interests and/or dividends paid over a given period. A higher yield allows the shareholders to generate returns on their investments sooner. However, investors should also be aware that a high yield may be a result of market turmoil or increased price volatility.

Annual Yield In A Nutshell

That way you have a firm understanding of the company and know what to keep in mind going forward. Also, use this number in conjunction with your technical analysis, giving you the most well rounded opinion possible.

When looking at a stock or equity, there are several data points to keep in mind, from dividend yield to current ratio. Another data point you should pull into your research is the annual yield, which simply put, is how much money to company made per share, including dividends and other returns on that investment. Many people look at this as a way to gauge the company against others in the industry, but it may not tell the whole story. The company could have had a subpar year, but it could have been due to marketing efforts or restructuring.
