Ten žiauru. Laikykitės dividendų, kad išliktumėte.

Dividend stocks are poised to notch an impressive victory this year. The


Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend


index is ahead 5.5%, cruising past the


„S&P 500“


index, down 14.4% in total returns. Even more impressive, dividend stocks have left the tech-heavy


„Nasdaq Composite Index“


down 26.7%, in the dust.

The disparity isn’t likely to last, as these performance trends tend to even out or reverse—growth could make a comeback, pulling up tech and other sectors not known for big dividends. But some analysts expect dividend stocks to keep powering ahead, betting that investors will favor their defensive qualities amid a potential recession and other market headwinds.
