Certain dividend stocks outperform when the Federal Reserve cuts rates at a slow pace, according to Ned Davis Research
As the Federal Reserve starts to cut interest rates, it makes sense that investors might turn to dividend stocks. After all, dividend payers should benefit as lower bond yields offer less competition. In addition, they can be a defensive play if the economy falls into a recession. However, the reality is more nuanced, according to Ned Davis Research.
The stocks have a quarterly dividend growth of 10% or more in the past year and buy ratings from at least 55% of the analysts covering the stocks, per FactSet. They also have a dividend yield of more than 2% and an upside of 10% or more to the average price target. Three real estate investment trusts made the list: Host Hotels & Resorts , Equinix and Prologis . Real estate is one of the worst performing sectors of the S & P 500, up just over 3% year to date.
