hello friends welcome to the channel of Wallstreetmojo today we are going to
[14]
discuss a tutor on current yield now what is exactly current yield see
[21]
current yield is an investment of annual income that is interest or dividend
[25]
divided by the current price of the security and this measures looks at the
[30]
current price of the bond instead of the face value so the current yield
[34]
represents the return on the investors would expect if the owner purchased the
[38]
bond and held it for a year but current yield is not actual return foreign
[42]
investors who receives if he holds bond until maturity so current yield is all
[48]
the annual cash flows divided by the market price per share
[51]
breaking down the current yield current yield is the most often applied to bond
[55]
investments which are security that I issued to an investor's at par value I
[60]
mean or the face value of let's say a $1000 bond carries a
[63]
coupon amount of interest that has stated on the face value face of the
[67]
bond certificate and bonds are traded between investors since the market price
[72]
of the bond changes and investors may purchase a bond at a discount which is
[76]
less than the power value or a premium and the purchase price of the bond of XT
[80]
current yield now let's understand how to how the current yield is is this
[87]
calculated if an investor let's say he buys a 6% coupon rate bond for a
[92]
discount of let's say of $900 the investor earns how much 1000
[97]
x 6 because 1000 is the face value into 6% is a
[101]
coupon rate so what is a coupon $60 so what is the current yield
[105]
60 divided by the market price what was your market price nine hundred so
[109]
60 divided by 900 900 which gives us 6.67% so over here
[113]
the $60 in annual interest is fixed regardless of the price paid for the
[117]
bond if on the other hand an investor purchases a bond at a premium of 1100
[122]
the current price will become 60 divided by 1100 which will
[125]
give us 5.45% so the investor investor is paid more for
[130]
the premium bond that pays the same dollar
[133]
of the interest so the current yield is lower the current yield can also be
[137]
calculated for stocks by taking dividend received for a stock and divided by the
[141]
amount by the stocks current market price now what is YTM yield to maturity
[147]
it is the total return on on a bond assuming that the bond owner holds the
[152]
bond until the maturity date assume for an example that you know 6% coupon rate
[156]
of bond purchase for $900 which matures in 10 years now to calculate the YTM and
[163]
investor needs to make an assumptions about the discount rate so that the
[166]
future principal and interest payments are discounted at the present value in
[171]
a previous example itself if the investor received 60 in the annual
[174]
interest payment for 10 years at maturity in 10 years the owner receives
[178]
the par value of $1,000 and the investor recognizes 100 as the capital gain so
[183]
the present value of the interest payments and the capital gain are added
[187]
to compute the bonds YTM now if the bond is purchased at premium the YTM
[192]
calculation includes the capital loss and when the bond matures at the par
[197]
value now the current yield formula is a different sort of a formula because it
[202]
does not calculate the return on the original price rather it calculates the
[205]
return on the current price so now let's have a look at the current yield formula
[209]
in in the let's have a look at the formula see the current yield is equal to the
[219]
annual coupon see over here you can instead of annual coupon you can also
[223]
use the discount okay so will write annual coupon divided by the current bond
[231]
price okay so this is our formula now let's take a current yield formula a example a
[238]
practical example let's say there's a company whose name is Betty okay
[244]
the Betty has invested in two bonds the original price of the two bonds were the
[249]
price of 2 bonds let's say bond A and bond B so the original price I'm just
[257]
writing price over here was 1000 and 1500 the risk for both the bonds is
[263]
similar okay the annual coupon for each of these bonds
[266]
are the annual coupon just writing annual Cooper will be which will be
[271]
based on a percentage so let's say the annual coupon is 150 dollars over here
[278]
and 180 dollars respectively the current prices of this bond are 1200 this was
[284]
the original price let me just write original price this is your current
[290]
price so the current price is 1200 and 1800 okay
[297]
find out the Bond yield and current yield for each of this bond and on the basis
[302]
of the yield which bond Betty should choose to invest so let's find
[307]
out the bond yield first the bond yield for the first bond let's write over here
[313]
bond yield so the for the first bond that is A will be how much the annual
[318]
coupon divided by the current market original price actually that is 1000 and
[324]
you can do just control R because it will follow the same formula so will
[330]
get 15% and 12% okay so now will calculate the current this was
[337]
the bond yield basically now will calculate the current yield of the bond
[341]
so we have been given the I mean the current prices and the same annual
[345]
coupons will be applied so this was the bond yield now let's calculate the
[350]
current yield the current yield is going to be the coupon divided by the current
[355]
price and do control R there we have our answer 13% and 10%
[361]
that is close enough to 12.5 and 10% so on the basis of the yield but
[368]
he should choose to basically invest in the first bond that is the current yield
[374]
having 12.5% bond yield of 15% since both of these bonds are similar in
[378]
terms of risk we can easily say that the first bond will be best among the two
[383]
okay let's get into the nitty-gritty of
[387]
the exploration part of the current yieldof formula no matter at
[389]
what the original price of the bond here is the
[391]
current yield formula will only calculate the return on the current
[393]
price not on the original price okay be very sure about that that's why it's not
[398]
called bond yield so in the case of the bond
[401]
yield we calculate the return on the original price look at that we have
[406]
calculated on key 8 that is our original price got it so however in the
[412]
case we will only consider the current price while calculating the return for
[416]
example let's say that the investors have bought a bond let's say at a price
[421]
of 120 dollars and the bond promises a return a 10% return okay
[429]
now the annual coupon this is the return we bought at okay and let's say the
[437]
coupon the coupon is let's say 12 dollars so how the current price will be
[443]
close enough to let's say let's say take it 100so the bond yield over here
[448]
is going to be 10 right it's going to be 10 the bond price is going to be
[455]
12 / 120 that's going to be 10% this is going to be our bond yield
[463]
but the yield would be actually 12% the current yield is going to be 12% that is
[471]
is equal to 12 divided by 100 you can see the difference okay
[478]
so what is the use of the yield for an investor high risk should result in
[484]
higher returns that's why whenever we look at multiple investments we need to
[489]
multiple ratios to judge worthiness of each investments in regards to bond
[494]
investments investors look at quite a few ratios like bond yield yield to
[499]
maturity yield call and so on and so forth
[502]
the current yield of a bond is specifically used to see how to risk
[506]
investments turn out in the same measuring grid so investors also will
[510]
always look for the premium for taking higher risk if it so happens that the
[515]
investors have the option to choose one from the two one from the to high risk
[519]
bonds investments then the investor will only choose the one that pays more
[525]
return and that's why it is being used and in and in such in
[529]
such an important indicator okay now let's
[533]
look at the current yield calculator so you can quickly get into the
[537]
nitty-gritty and quickly check upon various situations and get to the answer
[542]
this is our current yield calculator let's say if we put 100 as the coupon
[548]
and the bond price as 1,000 so your current yield is how much 10%
[555]
remember that is always an inverse relationship between the interest rate
[560]
and the price so I'll just quickly get you there the concept of interest rate
[567]
that is the interest rate and the price of the bond so remember this one thing
[575]
that there will be always be a inverse relationship between the interest rate
[580]
in the price so if the interest rate goes up the price will go down okay
[586]
let's say in interest rate is 10 percent and the price is 1,000
[590]
so if the interest rate goes to 9 percent the price will shoot up let's
[596]
say for an example 1100 if it goes to 11 percent then this will shoot up to 900
[602]
just an example this is how the inverse relationship will go because it's as
[606]
simple that if an investor's have ever bought a bond let's say for a 10%
[612]
interest rate and at a price of 1000 now if the interest rate turns out to be 9
[616]
percent okay if the interest rate turns out to be 9 percent for an outside
[621]
investor it will be like why would I take a bond at 9%
[626]
so for 4 less it for the lesser person date you have you will have to pay a
[631]
more price so always remember there will be an inverse relationship between the
[635]
interest rate and price I hope you have got a really good concept in your in
[640]
your brain regarding the bond yield and the current yield thank you everyone
