Dividend yield
Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current market price.
Indian companies may pay interim and final dividends that together form the annual total.
Yield rises when prices fall if the dividend rupee amount is unchanged.
PSUs and mature cash-generative firms often appear in high-yield screens.
Special dividends can temporarily inflate yield calculations.
