Want Growth and Income? This 5%-Yielding Dividend Stock Offers an Unbeatable Combination.
Many investors tend to fall into one of three camps. They focus on investing in growth, dividend, or value stocks. While all three strategies have their merits, combining approaches yields the best risk-adjusted returns.
The data backs up this claim. Over the last 50 years, dividend growers in the S&P 500 have delivered a higher total return (10.2% annualized) with less volatility (a beta of 0.88) than dividend non-payers (negative 0.6% total return and a beta of 1.22) and companies with no change in their dividend policy (6.6% total return and a beta of 1.01), according to data from Hartford Funds and Ned Davis Research. Because of that, investors should consider loading their portfolio with dividend growth stocks.
VICI Properties (NYSE: VICI) certainly fits the bill. The experiential real estate owner pays a 5%-yielding dividend and delivers market-leading earnings growth.
