Dividend Yield – datatype (DY)

The dividend yield expresses the dividend per share (DPS) as a percentage of the share price (P). 

Used in a static request the datatype will retrieve the latest dividend information relative to the request date. 

For UK equities, effective 5th April 2004 the 10% repayable dividend tax credit for Individual Savings Accounts was abolished, from this point forward the DY and YN will be the same.
