Income-generating stocks are in high demand this year as investors fight continuous interest rate hikes. Earlier in November, the Feds raised interest rates by another 0.75 percentage points in an effort to fight inflation. With this increase, rates are expected to peak at 4.5% to 4.75% by 2023, according to the US central bank’s projections. This slow economic recovery and a possible recession have investors exploring different investment avenues to generate stable income.
Dividend stocks have picked up steam in this regard as these equities offer steady cash payouts to investors. Many reports have shown that dividend stocks have performed well during periods of market decline. According to a report published by BMO Capital, dividend payers delivered an annual average return of 7.8% from January 1998 to January 2013, compared with a 2.4% return from non-dividend companies. During this period, the S&P/TSX returned 4.3%, significantly underperforming the dividend stocks. The report also mentioned that portfolios with dividend stocks have a higher Sharpe ratio which results in higher risk-adjusted rewards.
Economists also recommend loading up on dividend stocks in the current economic landscape. Jeffrey Kleintop, the chief global investment strategist at Charles Schwab, spoke about dividend stocks in his interview with Ameritrade Network in September. He said that dividend stocks have outperformed the broader market in every recessionary period market in the past 50 years. He further mentioned that dividend stocks have potentially less downside, which can be seen from this year’s returns. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index, which tracks the performance of some of the best dividend stocks like Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT), and Atmos Energy Corporation (NYSE:ATO), is down by just 3.73% this year so far, versus a 15.11% decline in the S&P 500, as of December 5.
