Ranking

Top dividend yield

Every company we analyze that pays income, ranked by dividend yield — the trailing cash paid out over the past year divided by the share price. A higher yield means more income per dollar invested, though a very high yield can also signal that the market doubts the payout is safe. Real-estate investment trusts and other trusts pay distributions rather than dividends; those are included here and labelled (dist.).

Approximate, as of early August 2026. * = estimated. Yields move with prices and payout changes — see each report for the detail, and confirm before acting.
