  • Dividend income is often overlooked amid gyrations in the stock market. Consider that in 2024, market bulls were boasting about 24%-plus S&P 500 returns. No one was very focused on the broad market index's 1.2% dividend yield. But dividends are an important element of return, and 2025 for a while was bearing that out. Through May, the S&P 500 was up a thin 1.1%; without dividends, there was essentially no returns at all. Of note, dividend income accounted for 42% of the total return of the S&P 500 between 1930 and 2012, according to Hartford Funds. And that's just the average. In some of those decades, dividends accounted for more than 50% of total returns and even 100%. More recently, dividends have accounted for a smaller portion of returns, at around 15%-20%. But not all dividends are created equal, though, and it is important to understand the difference between the two main investment categories: high-yield stocks and dividend-growth stocks.

  • Stocks rose on Thursday, with the S&P 500 up 1.02%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average higher by 1.62%, and the Nasdaq Composite ahead by 0.89%. The bullish mood was driven by earnings reports, an acceptable GDP report, and as the war in Iran seems to be fading in the mind of investors focused on corporate results (at least for now).

  • With relative calm in Iran, investors will be able to gnaw on something new next week, as earnings season starts with mostly financials reporting. Some of the big news will come from Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC), BlackRock (BLK), Morgan Stanley (MS), Bank of America (BAC), PNC Financial (PNC), Charles Schwab (SCHW), and Bank of New York Mellon (BK). A few semiconductor companies will also release results. Semis have exploded, with the VanEck Semi ETF (SMH) soaring 19% over the past seven days, the largest seven-day jump since after the 2022 bear market.
