Dividend Amount.
A stock dividend is the amount per share that a company decides to pay to its shareholders. It is a fixed amount, changed (cut or raised), kept the same (renewed), or eliminated, as determined every quarter.
Dividend Yield.
A stock dividend YIELD is a dynamic calculation based on the dividend amount divided by the current share price (which is constantly changing) of the company's stock.
Example: The dividend is $2.00 per share, and the current share price is $20. The yield is then 10% at that time. If the share price drops, the yield goes up. If the share price increases, the yield goes down.
