Stock dividend yield is a ratio useful in stock analysis. It is calculated by this formula: dividend per stock/stock price*100%

In some cases the divisor in the formula may differ. Instead of the current stock price, it may be the price an investor purchased the stock at, or it may be the price when the dividend was paid.
