How to use this page: The Four Year Avg Yield Price represents the stock price at which a company would be yielding its exact four-year average dividend yield — a useful measure of fair value. For a DGI Crabber, the buy signal occurs when the current yield is 30% higher than the four-year average yield, meaning the stock price has fallen far enough that the market is offering you a significantly better-than-normal yield. Compare the current yield to the four-year average before making any investment decision.
Notable Shifts Since Last Month
- SPGI — 4-yr avg yield dropped from 0.84% → 0.79%, which nudges its fair value target price slightly higher.
- CAT — avg yield ticked down again from 1.62% → 1.57%, pushing the buy zone price even further out of reach. Already the most overvalued stock in the portfolio at ~49% above fair value.
- HRL — avg yield moved up from 3.53% → 3.59%, meaning the market has repriced its "normal" yield higher. Consistent with its ongoing multi-year weakness.
- MKC — same pattern as HRL, up from 2.29% → 2.34%. The 4-year average keeps drifting higher as the stock stays depressed — worth watching whether fundamentals justify the persistent discount.
