The S&P 500 dividend yield just hit a record low. That is a fact about prices
- The index yields about 1.05%, against a long-run average of 4.21% and a peak of 13.84% in June 1932.
- Companies have not stopped paying.
- Share prices have risen faster than payouts, and the index has tilted towards very large technology companies that return cash a different way.
