When stock markets head south, dividends become much more sought after by investors. The reason is pretty straightforward: They historically outperform the broader market in downturns and are essential holds. If you look at past bear markets or corrections, dividend stocks have carried the S&P 500. In the 1970s, dividends accounted for 73% of the total return of the S&P 500, and in the 2000s, when the S&P 500 was down 3%, dividends accounted for a 2% return. The S&P 500 has enjoyed a four-year bull market, but its valuation is historically high, which often leads to a correction or bear market. We can't predict when that will happen, but the Nasdaq Composite has already corrected twice this year, so it could certainly happen again given the rickety state of the U.S. economy and the overvalued S&P 500.
