Shareholder Yield

Shareholder Yield shows how much money a company is paying out to its shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases to reduce the number of shares. Dividends are money in the shareholders pocket and when earnings remain constant, share reduction results in increased earnings per share and potentially a higher future dividend yield.

Shareholder Yield is calculated as follows:

Shareholder Yield = Dividend Yield + Buyback Yield
