Below are the 10 Dow stocks that qualified for a 2022 Dogs of the Dow portfolio. Briefly, the Dogs of the Dow are the ten Dow Jones Industrial Average components with the highest dividend yield as of the close on the last day of trading of the preceding year. A simple strategy is to buy these ten stocks at the start of the year, allocating an equal dollar amount to each stock. Another approach is to buy the five lowest-priced of the ten highest-yielding Dow stocks (which are known as the "Small Dogs of the Dow). Every "dog" has outperformed the market so far this year. The average return for the portfolio is -0.25% year-to-date (before dividends). Investor interest in these companies has presumably been bolstered by the fallout in the growth stocks and the appeal of having a reliable, and higher-yielding, income source in a volatile market. Returns indicated are year-to-date before dividends. DOW, Inc.
