What Is a Good Dividend Yield? Yields from 2% to 6% are generally considered to be a good dividend yield, but there are plenty of factors to consider when deciding if a stock's yield makes it a good investment. Your own investment goals should also play a big role in deciding what a good dividend yield is for you.
The dividend yield is a financial ratio that tells you the percentage of a company's share price that it pays out in dividends each year. For example, if a company has a $20 share price and pays a dividend of $1 per year, its dividend yield would be 5%.

What stocks have a Barron's 7 dividend yield?
Barron's screened for an even higher yield of 7% in the S&P 500 and came up with a half dozen companies: Altria, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Boston Properties, Healthpeak Properties, Verizon Communications and KeyCorp.
The average dividend yield on S&P 500 index companies that pay a dividend historically fluctuates somewhere between 2% and 5%, depending on market conditions. 7 In general, it pays to do your homework on stocks yielding more than 8% to find out what is truly going on with the company.
| Stock | Trailing annual dividend yield* |
|---|---|
| Crown Castle Inc. (CCI) | 5.9% |
| Pfizer Inc. (PFE) | 5.9% |
| Boston Properties Inc. (BXP) | 6.2% |
| Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) | 6.2% |
While the dividend rate shows the absolute amount of dividend paid per share, the dividend yield factors in the stock's current price, offering a more insightful measure of the return on investment.
TTM yield can also refer to the dividend yield for a stock paid out over the prior 12 months. For instance, if a company with $100 stock paid a $0.10 quarterly dividend over the past four quarters, the TTM yield would be: (0.10 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.10)/$100 = 0.4%.
Key Takeaways. Many investors look to dividend-paying stocks to generate income in addition to capital gains. A high dividend yield, however, may not always be a good sign, since the company is returning so much of its profits to investors (rather than growing the company.)
Chevron (CVX) International Business Machines (IBM) and Altria Group (MO) are some of the most trending Dividend Stocks.
The four stocks on the NYSE or Nasdaq with the highest forward dividend yield that also trade for $25 or less as of March 2024 include Petrobras, Jiayin Group, Great Elm Capital Corp., and Angel Oak Mortgage REIT.
Overall, we believe creating a dividend portfolio with 20 to 60 stocks provides a reasonable balance between the need for diversification, a desire to keep trading activity low, and a limited amount of research time to devote to maintaining a portfolio.
