In colloquial terms, it is "strong". It can take a high load, and return back to an undamaged, undeformed state afterward. If the yield strength is equal to or very close to the ultimate tensile strength, common when it is a very high value, that indicates the material is not very ductile. Glass is a material like this. You can load it very high, but it will break rather than "stretch".
