Dividend Yield (Historical)
LiveThe dividend yield, expressed as a percentage, is a financial ratio (dividend/price) that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price.
How calculated | Dividend / Price |
Example usage | =hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT",2022) - Returns the value for the year 2022.
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT",2022,2) - Returns the value for the year 2022 and the calendar quarter 2
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT",2022,3,"TTM") - Returns the value for the year 2022 and trailing twelve months from the calendar quarter
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT","lq") - Returns the value for the last quarter
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT","lq-1") - Returns the value for the last quarter-1
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT","ly") - Returns the value for the last year
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT","ly-1") - Returns the value for the last year - 1
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT","lt") - Returns the value for the last 12 months.
=hf_Dividend_Yield("MSFT","lt-1") - Returns the value for the previous last 12 months. |
Notes | If a company’s dividend yield has been steadily increasing, this could be because they are increasing their dividend, because their share price is declining, or both. Depending on the circumstances, this may be seen as either a positive or a negative sign by investors. |
