Adjusted dividend (SEK)
The dividend amount adjusted for share issues and splits. Example: In 2006, dividend of 10 (for a given currency) per share was given by the owners. In 2010, a split that gives shareholders two shares for one old was declare. Dividend of 10 in 2006 is recalculated taking into account that the shareholders now have twice as many shares as compared to the time of the distribution. The adjusted dividend is in this example 5 per share.

Dividend yield is represented as a percentage and can be calculated by dividing the dollar value of dividends paid in a given year per share of stock held by the dollar value of one share of stock.
