1 No-Brainer High-Yield S&P 500 ETF to Buy Right Now
Dividend stocks are back in favor in 2026! This ETF with a 4.4% yield looks especially well set up for the rest of the year.
Overview
In 2026, dividend investors are finally keeping up with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). After three years in which dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) largely lagged amid the tech and artificial intelligence (AI) rally, dividend stocks are finding themselves back in favor.
High-yield equity ETFs have performed particularly well this year. They tend to be overweight cyclical areas of the market, including energy, industrials, and materials. All three sectors are outperforming the S&P 500 year to date and are positively influencing dividend stocks' performance.
Details
However, investing in high-yield stocks requires some care. Some of these yields are high for a reason. They could be due to a falling share price or an imminent dividend cut, both of which would be damaging to shareholder returns. But finding a good one could lead to yields four times those of the S&P 500 index, with outperformance to boot.
