The potential benefits of dividend-paying stocks
2/7/2023
Dividend-paying stocks can potentially support your portfolio amid market volatility, inflation, and rising rates.

Hypothetical growth of $10K—With and without dividend reinvestment
Key takeaways:
- Dividend-paying stocks offer many potential benefits, including the ability to generate income even during market volatility, when positive returns can be tough to capture.
- A hedge against inflation is another potential benefit. When reinvested, dividends can grow over time, which may support an investment portfolio when prices on goods and services are rising.
- In addition, dividend-paying stocks are frequently tilted toward value. The underlying firms share some of their earnings, rather than reinvesting everything toward capital growth.
