Don't Be Fooled by Glittering High Dividend Yields
Look beyond the dividend yieldOften, the most advertised metric of dividend stocks is the dividend yield. A company's dividend yield is its annual dividend payout relative to its stock price. If a company pays out $2 in dividends yearly and its stock price is $100, its dividend yield is 2%. But that's exactly why dividend yield by itself can be misleading. There's no established number that you should be looking for when examining a company's payout ratio because some industries are more dividend-favorable than others.
