These shares yield 5%, about 50 a year for every 1,000 invested.

  • At 50 a share paying 2.5 a year (quarterly), you earn back the price in dividends in roughly 20 years before reinvestment or price change.
  • Your 100 shares are worth about 5,000 and pay roughly 250 in dividends a year.
  • A very high yield can signal a falling price or a dividend at risk of a cut, so check the payout ratio and earnings, not just the headline number.

Next stepCompare this yield against the company payout ratio and dividend history to judge whether the income is sustainable.
