Pro Tips
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.
Why is it important?: It helps investors understand the income-generating potential of a stock, similar to an interest rate on a savings account.
What is a 'good' dividend yield?: Generally, a yield between 2% and 5% is considered healthy. Very high yields (e.g., above 10%) can sometimes be a 'dividend trap', indicating the stock price has fallen because the dividend is at risk of being cut.
