Today’s open — This is the price at which the security first trades when the market opens.
Day range — The highest and lowest prices at which the security has traded during the current trading session.
P/E TTM — The price-to-earnings ratio is a valuation ratio that compares a company’s common share price to its earnings per share, or EPS. It helps to determine whether a company’s share price is overvalued or undervalued relative to its peers.
EPS TTM — The earnings per share ratio, an indicator of a company’s profitability, is calculated by dividing the company’s net profit over the last 12 months by the total number of shares outstanding.
Latest dividend — This is the dollar value of a dividend paid per share the previous period. Most stocks pay quarterly but some pay monthly, semi-annually or annually.
Yield — The percentage a company pays out annually in dividends per each invested dollar. For example, if a company’s dividend yield is 5% and an investor has held $10,000 of its stock for the past year, they would have received an annual payout of $500 — or $125 in 4 installments if quarterly dividends are paid.

Ex-dividend date — The day on which the stock begins trading without the subsequent dividend value. An investor who is looking to receive the next dividend payment must purchase the stock prior to the ex-dividend date and own it on the record date for the dividend, which is typically 2 days after the ex-dividend date.
Annual dividend — The dollar value of dividends paid per share in a particular year.
