(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 05/14/12 -- Dividends have become increasingly popular with investors. With interest rates as low as they are currently long term investors have been looking to high yielding dividend stocks as safe havens.

Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Domestic Telecom Industry and provides equity research on CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) and Windstream Corporation (NASDAQ: WIN).

The current S&P 500 dividend yield of 2.2 percent, on a year-ahead basis, outperforms the 1.88 percent yield on a 10-year Treasury note. Over 10 years a 2.2 percent yield compounds to 24.3 percent return whereas a 1.88 percent yield brings a 20.5 percent return. One of the major advantages of dividend-paying stocks is that dividends can increase over time. So far in 2012 152 of the S&P 500 companies have raised their dividends in 2012. In the same quarter last year 137 companies raised their dividends, the same period in 2010 saw 95 increases and just 68 over the same period in 2009.
