Dividend stocks are stocks that pay a portion of their earnings to shareholders on a regular basis, usually quarterly or monthly. Dividend stocks can provide a steady source of income and potential capital appreciation for investors. The dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by the current share price, expressed as a percentage. The higher the dividend yield, the more income an investor receives from holding the stock.
