How do you calculate Equity Yield Rate?

The Equity Yield Rate, often referred to as the dividend yield, is calculated by dividing the annual dividends per share by the current market price per share. The formula is:

[ \text{Equity Yield Rate} = \frac{\text{Annual Dividends per Share}}{\text{Current Market Price per Share}} \times 100 ]

This percentage expresses the return on investment from dividends relative to the market price of the equity.
