Are There Any Dividend Buys as the S&P 500 Rallies? Yes, and Here They Are.
The S 500 has been in rally mode over the past year. It's up about 25% in the last 12 months, with half those gains coming in 2024. That rally is making it more difficult to find compelling dividend stocks to buy, since dividend yields fall as stock prices rise.
The good news is that there are still some great dividend buys even as the S 500 rallies. Three Fool.com contributors have identified Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD), Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIPC)(NYSE: BIP), and Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN)(NYSE: CWEN.A) as great dividend investment options right now. Here's why they think income-focused investors should consider adding them to their portfolios.
Reuben Gregg Brewer (Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF): The S 500 index is yielding a miserly 1.3% or so today thanks to the bull market. You can get an around 3.4% yield from Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF. While 3.4% may not be a huge income stream on an absolute basis, it is well more than twice the yield of the S&P 500 and, more importantly, it comes from a mix of highly vetted dividend stocks.
