About Dividend Yield:
Dividend Yield of a stock is obtained by dividing the total annual dividend paid per share by the current market price of the stock. Dividend Yield is a calculation of the return from the stock only due to dividends received. If the amount of dividend per share remains the same, the dividend yield is inversely proportion to the market price of the share. If the market price increases, dividend yield decreases and if the market price decreases, dividend yield increases. Generally, mature companies that are not growing at a very fast pace have the highest dividend yields.
