Score guide
| Range | Label | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Under ~3% | Low yield label | Either modest DPS or a high share price - not bad by itself. |
| ~3%-8% | Moderate band | Common study zone - check DPS is recurring, not one-off. |
| Over ~8% | High yield label | Often from a falling price or special DPS - verify Filings before calling it “income.” |
