Dividend Yield

The cash a company pays out each year, as a percentage of its price.

A dividend is a share of profit paid out in cash. Yield expresses it against the share price, so you can compare it with a deposit rate.

Young, fast-growing companies often pay little or nothing, preferring to reinvest. Mature companies with less to reinvest in tend to pay more. A low yield is therefore not a criticism.

₹7 of dividend a year on a ₹2,182 share → yield = 0.32%.

A yield that looks unusually high is often the result of a falling price rather than a generous payout — and the dividend may be cut next. Check why the yield is high before treating it as income.
