What is Dividend Yield?
Dividend yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price. It's expressed as a percentage and is calculated using the formula:
For example, if a stock trades at ₹1,000 and pays an annual dividend of ₹50, the dividend yield is 5%. This means you earn ₹5 for every ₹100 invested annually through dividends alone.
