Dividends continue to fade from the investment scene in a sea of hot stocks associated with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) craze and assortment of fixed income assets with yields greater than 40%. But that could change quickly with a new Federal Reserve regime and lower rates. A ten-year period under 4.0% could spark a stampede.

Dividend yields remain near the all-time low. That previous bottom led into a dividend yield Renaissance.

Dividend Growers

There are companies still actively hiking their dividend payouts, although buybacks remain all the rage. I expect AI investments to siphon off funds that might have ordinarily gone to dividend payouts. This is why it's essential to find companies that prioritize rewarding their shareholders.

Consistent dividend payers tend to see their stocks outperform over time.
