Shareholder Yield
Shareholder yield combines dividends, net buybacks, and net debt paydown to show total cash returned to owners.
What it is
Shareholder yield is a broad measure of how much value a company returns to its owners. It adds together the dividend yield and the net buyback yield, and some versions also include net debt reduction. The result captures all the main ways a company can reward shareholders, not just dividends.
Why it matters
It gives a fuller picture than dividend yield alone, since two companies with the same dividend can return very different amounts once buybacks and debt paydown are counted. The main pitfall is double-counting or using gross rather than net buybacks, which can overstate the figure.
How it's calculated
Add the dividend yield to the net buyback yield (and optionally the net-debt-reduction yield), each measured as a percentage of market capitalization.
How Quintarthai uses it
The components, dividends and net repurchases, are available across the screener and company pages, with cash-flow detail on the Financials tab. Open a company page in the app to review them.
