Is today's dividend yield unusually high?

Dividend yield today

lower than in recent years

Today 2.90%, on average over fiscal years 2016 to 2025 6.76% (range 2.61 to 14.45%).

The yield is below the average of recent fiscal years.

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