Many investors like to watch the dividend yield, which is calculated as the annual dividend income per share divided by the current share price. The dividend yield measures the amount of income received in proportion to the share price. Dividend yield is an easy way to compare the relative attractiveness of various dividend-paying stocks. It tells an investor the yield he/she can expect by purchasing a stock. Dividend yield is the relation between a stock’s annual dividend payout and its current stock price. Depending on how much a stock price moves during the day, the dividend yield is constantly changing as the price of the stock changes.
Noble Corp plc (NYSE:NE) has been paying dividend since 2009 and made 4 payments in last 12 months. Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI) first paid dividend in 1937 and currently has a dividend yield of 5.40%. PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE:PMT) started paying dividend in 2010.
