Locating the Dividend Yield Ratio in a Chinese Stock Factor Table

Summary

This brief platform support exchange answers where to find the dividend_yield_ratio field after a user cannot locate it in the dividend information table. The response points to a precomputed stock factors table, explaining that the requested field is available there rather than in the dividend records table the user initially checked.

The table is described as containing a broad set of precomputed stock data and receiving daily updates. The exchange provides a useful data-discovery detail for researchers building equity screens or analyses that use dividend yield. It does not explain the field’s calculation, coverage, historical availability, or whether the value is point-in-time adjusted, so those details should be confirmed before using it in research or backtests. The response also says access is part of a paid offering, making availability dependent on the platform account.

Key ideas
