The yield is based on the dividends per security over the last 12 months and today's price. The figures for fiscal year 2025 come from the financial statements. For this security they are in a different currency than the price or apply per ordinary share, and with an ADR one security can stand for several shares. The two figures therefore cannot be compared directly.

For banks and insurers we do not show whether free cash flow covers the dividend: there it mostly reflects movements in loans and deposits. The score leaves it out as well.
