Dividend yield (DY) measures how much a stock pays in dividends relative to its current price. A DY of 8% means the company distributed, over the last 12 months, an amount equal to 8% of the stock price.
A high DY can signal a mature company with stable cash flow, but it can also result from a falling share price (which mechanically raises the DY). Always consider the context: payment history, payout ratio, debt, and sector.
This ranking includes only stocks with a positive dividend yield and is updated from the screener's public data.

Dividend yield is the ratio of dividends paid over the last 12 months to the current stock price. It indicates the dividend's return.
What is a good dividend yield?
It depends on context. A DY above 6% is considered high in the Brazilian market, but should be evaluated alongside payment history and the company's financial health.
What is the difference between dividend yield and payout ratio?
DY relates the dividend to the stock price. The payout ratio relates the dividend to the company's earnings — it shows how much of the profit is distributed.
