Why dividend-growing stocks could be better bets than their higher-yielding peers

Stocks with a consistent track record of dividend growth could be better choices than their high-yielding peers, according to Morgan Stanley.

Dividend-paying equities have also outperformed their non-dividend-paying peers across all large-cap sectors since 2000, except the consumer discretionary sector, according to the analysts. Dividend growers’ outperformance is less significant within small-cap stocks. Meanwhile, the current macroeconomic environment, which features elevated but easing inflation, is usually supportive of the outperformance of dividend-paying stocks, the analysts noted. Morgan Stanley thinks that inflation will continue to fall from high levels over the coming months, according to the note.
