Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by current share price, expressed as a percentage.
Dividend yield tells you how much cash income you receive from dividends relative to the price you pay for a stock or fund unit.
Yield rises when price falls (if dividend is unchanged) or when companies increase payout. For mutual funds, dividend yield depends on portfolio holdings and distribution policy.
If ITC pays ₹12 dividend annually and the share price is ₹400, dividend yield is 3%. On 500 shares worth ₹2,00,000, annual dividend income is ₹6,000.
