Yield = annual dividend / price

In the case you cited, assuming monthly payments, the annual dividend is $1.20.
1.2 / 11.23 = 10.68%

It looks like the yield quoted was based on prior days price.
1.2 / 11.52 = 10.41%

Thanks a million. That dividend listed 0.10 a share got me. If its on the quarter it would be .40 cents annually. 40/11.23= 3.25%

But at the $1.20 annually it is .30 cents a share on the quarter
