Summary
In 2026, dividend stocks, particularly the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM), are outperforming the S&P 500 by approximately 3 percentage points, thanks to strategic investments in energy and industrial sectors. With a forward P/E ratio of 16, VYM offers a compelling alternative to tech-heavy portfolios, especially as rising interest rates may challenge growth stocks.
