The returns obtained from investing in a share can be broken down into two components-capital gain and dividend yield. 投资股票的回报可分为两部分资本增值和股息率。
If the share price does not change, then the investment return is equal to the dividend yield. 若是股价不变,那么,投资回报率只等于股息率。
One should not confuse the percentage stated as dividend yield. 投资者不可以把这个百分比与股息率混淆。
