Frequently Asked Questions
What is dividend yield?
Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend per Share / Stock Price) × 100. If a stock pays $2/year and trades at $40, yield = 5%. Higher yield means more income relative to price, but extremely high yields can signal a falling stock price.
What is DRIP?
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) automatically reinvests your dividends to buy more shares instead of paying cash. Over time, this compounds your position significantly. Many brokers offer free DRIP.
What is a good dividend yield?
2-4% is generally considered healthy for established companies. Below 2%: growth-focused company. 4-6%: good income stock. Above 6%: potentially unsustainable — check the payout ratio. A payout ratio above 80% may indicate the dividend is at risk.
