 The basic reason for this divide is that investors will pay more for the higher growth rates.This raises the share price and thus lowers the dividend yield.\\ The basic reason for this divide is that investors will pay more for the higher growth rates.This raises the share price and thus lowers the dividend yield.\\

 How should one evaluate the two classes? I suggest adding the curent yield to the growth rate to derive an adjusted yield. E.g., assume stock XYZ is valued at 100 and pays a $5 div. per year. Let's assume a constant growth rate of 20% per year. So after 1 year, it pays a $6 dividend. Other things being equal, the market would still be willing to pay $120 for the stock's 5% dividend. This can be verified in several cases: the rise in share price mtches the rise in dividends while the yield remains the same.\\ How should one evaluate the two classes?

 But beware that growth rates are choppy and that, worst case, without prospects of continued growth, XYZ might see its "expected growth rate" decline from 20% per year to 0%. This would require the yield to jump to 10% to maintain market interest, i.e., a drop from 100 to 60 as the dividend increases while the yield doubles.\\ But beware that growth rates are choppy and that, worst case, without prospects of continued growth, XYZ might see its "expected growth rate" decline from 20% per year to 0%.
