American Water Works Company, Inc. (AWK) trades at $140.10, with a market cap of $27.84B. The dividend yield on the latest Stocklytics quote is 2.45%. Yield is annual dividends divided by the price, so the figure moves when the price moves even if the payout does not.

The payout ratio is the check that sits next to the yield. Dividends larger than earnings, or larger than free cash flow, are being financed rather than earned. A modest yield that grows is often a better income holding than a high yield that consumes the business.
