4 Looming Questions for Dividend Investors This Year

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: The first quarter brought a new record for the amount of dividends paid to investors, as covered in this week’s Speaking of Dividends column. Companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 paid out a grand total of $93.5 billion in dividends and next quarter’s tally should be even higher.
The S&P 500 dividend yield is 2.04%, (or 2.38% if you count only the 84% of companies that pay a dividend), but that’s still way below historic levels for S&P dividend yields.
Regards,
Ted
