Could you please clarify what exactly is meant by a 5% yield in the context of finance and investments? I'm trying to understand if this refers to the annual rate of return on an investment, or perhaps something else entirely. If it is indeed the annual return, how is this calculated and what are the potential risks associated with investing in assets that promise such a yield? Additionally, are there any specific types of investments that typically offer a 5% yield, and are there any factors I should consider before making such an investment?

It is calculated by dividing the annual dividend per share by the current market price of the stock.

This ratio provides insight into the income-generating potential of a stock, assuming the dividend remains stable.

For instance, if a stock trades at $100 per share with an annualized dividend of $5 per share, the dividend yield would be 5%.

This signifies that, for every $100 invested in the stock, the investor can expect to receive $5 in dividends annually.
