The speaker highlights two key metrics: dividend yield—the percentage payout relative to the stock price—and dividend per share, where more shares owned translates to increased income. By providing a practical example using BP stock, they illustrate how investing £1,000 could yield approximately £657 annually in dividends. However, they also caution that dividends can fluctuate based on company performance and should not be relied upon as the sole income source.
