Shareholder yield (Shareholder yld)
Dividend yield and buyback yield added together.
It is the total cash return to shareholders regardless of the route it took.
How it is computed here
Dividend yield + buyback yield
Today's market price against the latest available fundamentals. Combines today's market price with the most recently filed fundamentals. It moves whenever the price moves, with nothing having changed in the business. Filed under value. Neither a high nor a low reading is good on its own, so it is never coloured as one.
No published threshold exists for this figure, so this page prints none. Read it against the company's own history and its peers instead.
When it misleads
- Debt-funded returns of capital appear here as a positive. Read it beside the leverage figures.
- Inherits the netting problem in buyback yield.
- Reads n/a when either half is unknown, rather than counting the missing half as zero.
