The dividend yield on a stock is similar to the current yield on a bond in that: Both represent how much each security's price will increase in a year. Both incorporate the par value into their calculation. Both represent the security's annual income divided by its price. Both are quarterly yields that must be annualized. Both are an accurate representation of the total annual return an investor can expect to earn by owning the security.
