Understanding Dividend Yield: Definition, Calculation, and Importance

Dividend yield is a crucial financial metric that measures the profitability of an investment in a stock. It is calculated by dividing the cash dividend paid over a certain period, usually one year, by the current share price of the security. The result is expressed as a percentage, indicating the return on investment that investors can expect from holding the security.
While high dividend yields can be attractive to investors looking for high returns, it should not be the sole criterion for investment decisions. Investors should always conduct their own due diligence and evaluate the financial standing of the company before investing.

How to Calculate Dividend Yield in Google Sheets with MarketXLS Function? =MarketXLS_dividendyield(“MSFT”)

Google Sheets, combined with MarketXLS, offers a powerful tool for managing finances and analyzing stocks. To calculate the dividend yield of a stock such as Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), for example, use the MarketXLS function: =MarketXLS_dividendyield(“MSFT”). This function will automatically get the current dividend yield of the stock.
Apart from the dividend yield, MarketXLS offers over 100 functions, including the most recent ex-dividend date and the amount of dividends paid in the most recent payment. You can download the plugin from the Google Sheets app store.
