    Hi,
    I am trying to calculate the annual yield for NZ Oil & Gas for pure practice, but the number I am coming up with does not match the annual yield stated on websites such as in this link:

    http://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/company.do#!/NZO

    Which states the annual yield as 7.98%

    Here is the formula I am using:

    Yield = Dividend Per Share / Share Price

    The company's latest quartely report stats the annualised dividend per share as $0.03 and the current share price is $0.585

    Therefore, Yield = (0.03 x 4) / 0.585 which gives a annual yield of 20%

    Is there something I am missing or not factoring into the equation???

    Cheers,
    Jake.
