Long-term bond yields continue to rise. But investors looking for income can still find plenty of attractive opportunities with dividend-paying stocks that have healthy yields. “23 stocks pay huge dividends. They should be a better bet than treasuries.” —Barron's Weekly reported in October, 2024. Steven Wieting, strategist at Citi Wealth, told Barron's a growing dividend is a tangible-benefit for shareholders and a hallmark of companies with strong balance-sheets. “Nobody can fake a dividend," he-said.

U.S. equity markets advanced this week as investors parsed a deluge of headlines, including a major Supreme Court tariff ruling, escalating Middle East tensions, soft economic data, and hawkish Fed-speak. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to restrict the President's authority to impose broader tariffs under the IEEPA framework, a widely expected move that was quickly countered by the White House. Investors also shrugged off renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran, which sent oil prices to seven-month highs. The S&P 500 advanced 1.1% - its best weekly gains since early January.

Thirty-six publicly traded US real estate investment trusts are projected to increase dividend payouts in the first quarter, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence forecasts. The remaining 100 public REITs included in the analysis are predicted to maintain their dividend payout over the quarter. Two manufactured home REITs and two communication REITs are expected to raise their dividends within the first quarter, accounting for roughly 66.7% of both sectors.

U.S. equity markets diverged sharply as cooling labor data revived Fed rate-cut expectations, accelerating a value rotation and pressuring growth amid scrutiny and an unwind of the dollar debasement trade. With the January BLS payrolls report delayed, investors instead reacted to softer-than-expected JOLTS, ADP, Challenger, and initial claims data, interrupting a stretch of resilient economic releases and tempering risk sentiment. Meanwhile, the busiest week of corporate earnings season raised questions around where long-term value from booming AI spending ultimately accrues, both within the AI ecosystem and across the broader economy.
