When biotechnology, Internet and other momentum stocks were in favor during the first two months of this year, dividend payers lagged. Even with U.S. stocks recently hitting all-time highs, dividend payers are back to outperforming the S&P 500. “We noted in an early March post that dividend payers in the S&P 500 Index were under performing the non payers by over 600 basis points during the first two months of 2014. Near that same time the market was beginning a transition out of momentum and growth stocks into value oriented equities. As fate would have it, many dividend payers screen as value type stocks,” said Horan Capital Advisors.
“As a result, since the end of February, the dividend payers have significantly outperformed their non dividend paying counterparts in the S&P 500 Index. As the below table shows, the dividend payers are now outperforming the non payers by nearly 400 basis points. This is a nearly 1,000 basis point swing in just three months.” The dividend advantage can be among select exchange traded funds. For example, since March 3rd, the first trading day of that month, the S&P 500 is higher by 6.1%. Over that same period, the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEArca: VYM) and the iShares Select Dividend ETF (NYSEArca: DVY), two of the largest dividend funds, are up 8.2% and 7.3%, respectively.
