Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The capital gains yield refers to the potential increase (or decrease) in the stock's price over time, representing the return on investment from a change in price. Current yield refers to the annual dividends received as a percentage of the stock's current price. Dividend yield only pertains to the dividend payments received as a percentage of the stock's current price. Total yield is a combination of both capital gains and dividend yield. Earnings yield is the inverse of the price-to-earnings ratio and measures the return on investment from the company's earnings.
