A few ratios
Dividend Payout Ratio = Divident / Earnings
Divident Yield = Annualized Dividend/share price
Notes:
Dividends are a tax disadvantage. Stock holders have to pay normal tax for dividends distributed. However capital gains is given a better tax treatment. Does this incent companies to re-invest dividends in capital appreciation projects?
sidebar: REIT's have to distribute 70% or so of their earnings.
