"I just think it's supremely stupid of Gurufocus to call that shareholder yield."

What do you call Shareholder yield?

Shareholder yield refers to how much money shareholders receive from a company that is in the form of cash dividends, net stock repurchases, and debt reduction.

Shareholder yield looks at all the ways that companies can return capital to their shareholders. It is the sum of a company's dividend yield, net buyback yield and debt paydown yield.
