factor.explanation
Dividend yield is an important indicator for evaluating the value and earnings potential of a stock. A high dividend yield is generally considered a signal that the company is undervalued and attractive for investment, but investors need to consider the company's fundamentals, industry prospects and financial health to avoid falling into the high dividend yield trap. In addition, dividend yield can also be used to compare the investment returns of different stocks and help investors allocate assets. It should be noted that dividend yield is affected by many factors such as market sentiment, macroeconomic environment and the company's own operating conditions. Therefore, it should not be used alone as the basis for investment decisions.
