Yield Percentile (5-Year)

Yield percentile shows where a stock's current yield ranks compared to its historical range over the past 5 years.

How to Read It

• 90th percentile: Current yield is higher than 90% of historical yields - potentially undervalued
• 50th percentile: Yield is at the historical median - fair value
• 10th percentile: Yield is lower than 90% of historical yields - potentially overvalued

Why It Matters

High yield percentile suggests the stock is trading at a historically low price relative to its dividend - often a buying opportunity if fundamentals remain strong.
