Dividend Yield = Annual Dividends per Share ÷ Current Share Price
Multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage
Annual Dividends per Share = Total dividends paid per share over 12 months
Current Share Price = Latest market price of one share
Example: If annual dividends per share are $2 and the share price is $50, dividend yield = $2 ÷ $50 = 0.04
Convert to percentage: 0.04 × 100 = 4%
