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

High yield can be a red flag if price collapsed.

FAQ

Is the result a buy or sell signal?
