Shareholder yield is a valuable metric for assessing a company’s capital allocation. It combines dividend yield, buyback yield, and debt paydown yield to show how much capital the company is distributing back to shareholders. Three stocks with strong yields around 10% focus on boosting shareholder value.

Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF) achieved a shareholder yield just under 11% by prioritizing buybacks, dividends, and debt paydown. Revenue growth of over 14% and a 24% increase in adjusted EPS in 2024 contributed to a total return of over 70%, despite a 25% drop in 2025 due to recession fears.

Tapestry (NYSE: TPR) boasts an impressive 55% shareholder yield, with a 2.2% dividend yield and a 14% buyback yield. The company significantly reduced debt by retiring $8.3 billion and issuing $3.3 billion, leading to a net debt paydown yield of over 38%. Its total return in 2024 was over 77%, outperforming the sector in 2025.

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) has a nearly 10% shareholder yield, with a 2.1% dividend yield and over 5% buyback yield. The company’s debt paydown yield is around 2.2%, reflecting significant repayments and new issuances.
