Summary
- The New Dogs of the Dow had Q2 returns that exceeded the
gains of the DJIA, but it failed to match the rebound of the Dogs of Dow
theory.
- The average stock in the Net Payout Yields based list has a yield of 8.3% starting Q3.
- After a large loss in Q2, Travelers tops the list with a 12.3% yield.
This article will focus on the quarterly returns and changes in the new "Dogs of the Dow" strategy originally introduced (see
The New Dogs Of The Dow - 2015)
back in January. The goal of the series is to highlight that the old
theory of buying the Dow stocks with the highest dividend yields is
outdated. The more modern version involves using the Net Payout Yield
(NPY) that adds the net stock buyback yield to the dividend yield. This
yield more accurately reflects the modern corporate structure that
utilizes a large amount of stock buybacks.
