Dividends have contributed nearly 31% to the total returns of the S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.67%) index since 1926. That number alone proves what a great investment dividend stocks can be, provided you choose ones that pay regular dividends and preferably increase them over time.
At the time of this writing, the S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.67%) has rocketed upward by 13.3% in the last month -- almost enough to bring it back to where it started the year. That surge has lifted the valuations of many stocks back to lofty levels, but there are still plenty of bargains if you know where to look.
The recent market selloff in dividend stocks, especially REITs and utilities, presents attractive buying opportunities despite broader indices holding up. The House budget bill's rapid rollback of clean energy tax credits triggered a sharp selloff in renewables, but I see this as a long-term buying opportunity. I remain optimistic about renewables due to resilient demand, potential Senate moderation, and likely reinstatement of subsidies if Democrats regain power.
NextEra Energy faces volatility as proposed tax changes from the "One Big Beautiful Bill" threaten to end clean energy tax credits provided by the Inflation Reduction Act. The loss of uncapped tax credits could slow, but not reverse, NEE's long-term growth expectations in renewable energy. NEE maintains a stable 3.38% dividend yield and is guiding to grow its dividend per share by at least 10% through 2026.
If you are looking for American-made dividend stocks, you can't do much better than buying U.S. utilities. Companies like NextEra Energy (NEE 1.42%), Black Hills (BKH 0.90%), and American Electric Power (AEP 1.07%) are built on regional and regulated U.S. monopolies.
