Why it Pays to Invest in Dividend Stocks Over the Long Term

Dividend-paying stocks have long been popular among seasoned investors. These stocks are usually established, consistent, and possess a steady cash flow, making them low-risk, low-volatility investments. While smaller, more volatile companies may offer higher returns, larger companies often use dividends to entice new investors and retain existing ones.

Dividend-producing stocks can offer significant benefits, especially for long-term portfolios. Apart from providing semi-regular payouts as an income stream - which retirees favor - dividends can also compound earnings through reinvestment. Reinvestment can significantly compound earnings beyond the dividend payments alone, providing investors with substantial returns in the long run.

A study by Charles Schwab using returns data from S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 Total Return Index illustrates the power of dividend reinvestment. The study shows that the hypothetical S&P 500 Index fund in 1988 would have grown to more than $180,000 by mid-2017 if dividends had been reinvested, while the dividends would only have totaled $95,000.

It's essential to note that dividends must outpace or match the rate of inflation to maintain their purchasing power. The S&P 500 has managed to do this since 2012, providing ideal performance over that time span. With more than four-fifths of large-cap stocks tracked by the S&P 500 paying dividends, it's an ideal place to both gauge performance and locate dividend-paying stocks.

Investors can also reinvest dividends through dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs). These plans automatically allocate dividend earnings to purchase new shares for investors, offering convenience and commission-free purchasing power. While investors are responsible for taxes on the dividends, DRIPs give companies the opportunity to generate equity capital, benefiting both parties.

The power of compounding makes dividend stocks an attractive option for investors. While they may not offer massive short-term returns, they generate multiplying value over time, making them a consideration for any investor's portfolio.
