Frequently asked questions
What is dividend yield?
The annual dividend per share divided by the share price. A 3% yield means about $30 a year for every $1,000 invested.
Why are some very high yields missing?
Yields above 12% usually mean the share price has collapsed because the market expects the dividend to be cut, so we leave them out.
How often does the list change?
It is rebuilt every day after the US market closes, with the latest prices and filings.
