Cash & Leverage
Annual dividends per share as a percentage of the stock price. Moves inversely with price — so a historically high yield for a quality business often means the stock is temporarily depressed.

How to read this chart
For dividend investors, yield near the top of its historical range is the signal worth waiting for: same business, same dividend, lower price than usual. Zones are inverted vs P/E — green at the top (historically high yield = historically cheap stock), red at the bottom (low yield = historically expensive).
Key caveats
- An unusually high yield can also signal an expected dividend cut — always check the payout ratio and recent earnings before acting on a high-yield signal.
- Verify whether a rising yield comes from a price decline (potentially interesting) or from a growing dividend (healthy but changes the entry signal logic).
