I don't know what "this stock" is. Specifics and examples really do help.
Go to Yahoo Finance

Type in the company name or ticker symbol in the Get Quotes box; I'll use IBM, takes you here:

The last thing listed is the dividend/yield.
A ticker symbol that has a "P" on the end is a preferred stock. A common stock has no special identifier.
Definition of 'P'
A symbol that, when used as the fifth letter in a ticker symbol, indicates that a security is a first preferred issue. Called a fifth-letter identifier, "P" and most other letters of the alphabet, can be used to indicate that a security is not common stock, but has a special characteristic. Other examples of such characteristics and their identifiers include Class A shares ("A"), new issues ("D"), delinquent ("E"), foreign ("F"), or involved in bankruptcy proceedings, as indicated by ("Q").
