in a generation have pushed short-term Treasury yields above 5%, their highest level since 2007, widening the options for income-seeking investors after a decade marked by historically low rates. That has helped pressure many of the market’s popular dividend-paying stocks, which investors had turned to when rates were far lower.
A nascent resurgence of interest in dividend-paying stocks can be seen in inflows to the $11.7 billion ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF Meanwhile, 44% of global fund managers polled by BoFA Global Research said they now expect high-dividend stocks to outperform those that pay low dividends, a nine percentage-point increase from the previous month.
