If the company is a publicly traded company, a stock chart should appear at the top of the screen. This
chart will show the recent performance of the stock’s price. Scroll to the bottom of the chart, and pay
close attention to the various figures and terms that highlight the stock’s top data points. In the middle
column of data, you will see “div yield” which is the shortened version of dividend yield. On other stock
charts this can also appear as “Yield,” or simply just a % sign. When this particular field has a numerical

3 Review the Dividend History Details
Click the “Dividend History” option on the left side of the screen, and you will find basic statistics along
with a chart showing the historical payout information for the last several years. In the example below,
you will see how Target’s dividend payout is displayed (annual dividend).
When researching a stock, it is important to know if they pay dividends. This allows you to set expectations
for what your return on investment will look like.
Please Note: All companies do not pay dividends (there will not be a % under the company’s stock chart
if it does not pay a dividend). However, when you find a company that does provide this added dividend
bonus, you can create an infinite amount of passive income. Dividends can replace your working
income, or it can provide an additional stream of income that helps you obtain a desired lifestyle. The
more shares you own, the higher your passive income will be.
