Dividend Yield for Valuing Equity
- A classic metric for valuing a stock.
Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend per Share / Price per Share
Trailing Dividend Yield = (Recently quarterly dividend per share × 4) / Price per share
Leading Dividend Yield: Calculated in the same manner, but forecasted future year dividend payments would be used.
Dividend Yield positives:
Payments are a key component of a stock's total return.
Can be expected with greater certainty than stock price appreciation.
Dividend Yield drawbacks:
Dividend yield fails to reflect share price appreciation when evaluating a stock's total return potential.
Dividends paid in the current period reduce a company's capital available to invest in future growth.
The tradeoff between dividends and capital gains can be difficult to evaluate.
Not all companies pay dividends.
Justifiable Dividend Yield breakdown:
Div0/P0 = (rce - Growth rate of dividend payment) / (1 + g)
- The yield has a negative relationship with the dividend growth rate.
- The yield is positively related to the required return on common equity.
