Is today's dividend yield unusually high?

Dividend yield today

1.00%

above the average of recent years

$1.00 dividend per share over the last twelve months on a price of $100.23

Today 1.00%, on average over fiscal years 2015 to 2025 0.51% (range 0.02 to 1.29%).

The yield is at least a tenth above the average of recent fiscal years, but not above every one of them, and below 1%. The calculator does not rate yields this small as high: even a small dividend increase moves them a lot, and with so little paid out a dividend trap is hardly the issue.

Since the end of fiscal 2025 on 31 Dec 2025, the price has risen, so the yield has fallen.

  • Fiscal year

For each fiscal year, the dividend per share for that year divided by the closing price on the last trading day of the fiscal year. The dashed line is the average (median) of the fiscal years.
