[Sherverty]

The dividend is basically an incentive paid to shareholders for their investments in the company's shares. The dividend yield is the financial ratio of a company that compares the number of cash dividends distributed as a percentage to shareholders with the share price on the stock exchange. In simple terms, the dividend yield is the level of profit a company provides to shareholders.
