3 Dividend Growth Stocks Yielding More Than 10-Year Treasuries
Yield-seekers have had it tough in the post-2008 era. In the wake of the Great Financial Crisis, interest rates came down to record lows, which made traditional yield instruments such as bonds much less profitable. And thanks to a decade of tepid growth and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, today's interest rates are still at rock-bottom. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond, which is a common benchmark against which other assets are priced, yields just over 1.5% today.
Adding more complication, disruptive technology stocks have accounted for a large amount of market gains over that time, and most of those don't pay a dividend. In fact, many have disrupted mature dividend payers. As a result, high-dividend stocks of mature companies have often been bad overall investments in recent years.
Today, the best bet for yield seekers may be in a few stocks that pay decent, Treasury-beating dividends, but which also play in next-gen technology, with the ability to grow that payout over the next decade.
