For income seekers, the last year hasn’t exactly been a great one. Thanks to slowing growth and the pandemic, earnings, cash flows, and sales have fallen by the wayside for many stocks. As a result, we’ve seen a huge wave of dividend cuts. For those deriving income from their portfolios, this has been a major problem.
But dividend seekers may get the last laugh over the long haul.
Thanks to the pandemic and the resulting dividend cuts, income-producing stocks are now mispriced when looking at the rest of the market. And given the improving economic outlook, vaccine creation, and overall positive mood going into the new year, dividend stocks could be the buy of the century.
For investors looking to recapture some of their lost income or build a dividend portfolio from scratch, now could be the best time to pounce on those stocks rewarding shareholders.
