Frequently Asked Questions

Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current stock price, expressed as a percentage. It tells you what percentage of the stock's price you receive back as dividends each year. Formula: Yield = (Annual Dividend ÷ Stock Price) × 100. A stock priced at $50 paying a $2 annual dividend has a 4% yield. Yield rises when the stock price falls or dividends increase.

A DRIP automatically reinvests your dividend payments to buy additional shares rather than paying cash. This creates compounding: more shares earn more dividends, which buy even more shares. Over long periods, DRIP can dramatically amplify total returns. Many brokers offer automatic DRIP at no cost. Some DRIPs even offer shares at a small discount to market price.

Generally: below 2% is low (growth-oriented); 2–4% is moderate and considered healthy; 4–6% is high income, worth investigating; above 6–8% may indicate a dividend cut risk — always check the payout ratio and earnings stability. A sustainable dividend has a payout ratio below 75% of earnings. High yields in sectors like utilities and REITs (4–7%) are more normal due to their stable cash flows.
