Investors Flock to High Yielding Dividend Plays -- Frontier and Verizon Poised to Benefit
The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on Frontier Communications & Verizon Communications
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/20/12 -- With the global financial markets in disarray, dividend stocks have become one of the top destinations for investors over the last year. Rick Helm, portfolio manager of the Cohen and Steers Dividend Value fund, recently told USA Today that some investors believe it's more likely that companies will raise dividends than that economic growth will boost stock prices. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in the Domestic Telecom Services industry and provides research reports on Frontier Communications, Inc. (NYSE: FTR) and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
According to S&P Capital IQ, the 2.1% total return by the Standard & Poor's 500 in 2011 was entirely due to the 2.1 percent dividend yield. S&P Capital IQ adds that dividend paying stocks outperformed stocks that didn't pay dividends. Stocks that paid a dividend gained 1.4 percent on average in 2011, vs. a 7.6 percent average loss for S&P 500 stocks that didn't pay a dividend.
As reported in USA Today, roughly 75 percent of S&P 500 companies are expected to boost their dividends in 2012. Investors expect to see at least an 11 percent increase in dividends, and possibly much more, according to S&P Capital IQ.
