Dividend Payers Outperform Non Payers In November

For the second month in a row, the dividend payers in the S&P 500 Index outperformed the non payers, 5.77% versus 4.86% respectively. This could be a sign that the market is turning in favor of the payers as they tend to be higher quality companies and have underperformed this year. On a year to date and 12-month basis, the payers have lagged the non payers by a wide margin.
