Forward Dividend Yield

Forward dividend yield is an indicated annual dividend rate divided by the current market price. It relies on an assumption about future payments.

Why this matters to income investors

A projected yield depends on both today’s price and an unconfirmed future payment rate.

How to use forward dividend yield in your research

Check the company’s latest declaration for the per-share amount and payment dates. Separate the recurring rate from one-time payments, then compare the revised annual amount with current earnings support.
