Methodology
Realized shareholder yield: shares actually retired over the past year, from point-in-time SEC share counts, plus the dividend leg. This is deliberately not the cash-over-market-cap version, which flatters any company whose market cap has fallen — spending $5B on buybacks looks like a 20% yield once the market cap halves, whether or not the share count moved. Note that weighted-average share lines on the income statement lag point-in-time counts during an active buyback.
Performance columns are price returns: the change in the split-adjusted share price, the way quote screens report it, through the latest print during the session. Dividends are not reinvested. Fundamentals come from company filings via our EDGAR pipeline. Past performance does not predict future returns; this is not investment advice.
FAQ#
- Which stock has the highest realized shareholder yield?
- Paycom Software Inc. (PAYC) currently leads US large caps on realized shareholder yield at about 22.72% — shares actually retired over the past year plus dividends paid, over market cap.
- What are the top 10 shareholder yield stocks?
- The 10 highest realized shareholder yields right now: 1. PAYC 22.72%, 2. CRBG 19.73%, 3. TIGO 19.32%, 4. PINS 16.72%, 5. ING 16.70%, 6. IT 16.63%, 7. SYF 14.25%, 8. TTE 14.19%, 9. CRM 14.18%, 10. FCNCA 13.34%.
- Why is realized shareholder yield lower than shareholder yield?
- Because it counts shares actually retired rather than dollars spent. A company that repurchases stock while issuing it to employees can spend heavily and still end the year with the same share count — the cash-over-market-cap version credits it for the spending, this one credits it for the result. Note also that a falling market cap flatters the cash version: spending $5B on buybacks looks like a 20% yield once the market cap halves, whether or not the share count moved.
