WSJ: "Dividend Darlings Trail Stock Market Despite Pumped-Up Yields
Investors fret over the sustainability of big dividend payouts"

"Some big-name stocks are sporting chunky dividend yields. Many yield-starved investors are still saying no thanks.

Companies in the S&P 500 with at least a quarter-century record of paying out and increasing dividends—dubbed “dividend aristocrats” by Wall Street—have trailed the broader stock market this year. That is even as record-low interest rates have resulted in a scarcity of yield across the world.

The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, which measures the performance of 65 companies, has fallen 0.7% this year, while the broader S&P 500 has risen 7.3%. That puts the benchmark index on pace to outperform the dividend aristocrats index by the widest margin since 2007."
