Dividend yield is yearly dividends divided by share price, and a 4.86% Treasury now sets the bar. That 4.86% is the US 10-year Treasury yield on November 6, 2026 (Yahoo Finance), so a stock yielding less needs dividend growth or price gains to make up the difference for the extra risk you’re taking.
