How Dividends Are Beating Treasuries in May 2026

With the 10-year Treasury yield hovering near 4.57% and the 2-year at 4.08%, income investors face a surprising choice: bonds finally offer competition, yet dividend stocks like Verizon, Coca-Cola, and Johnson & Johnson are still outperforming over the past week. Lucas and Luna dig into why — focusing on the tax advantage of qualified dividends, the flat yield curve that favors equities, and the behavioral reality that dividend growers provide total return that Treasuries cannot match. They reference specific live data: VZ up 3.4% in five days, JNJ up 2.4%, while the 10Y-2Y spread narrowed to 43 basis points. If income is the goal, this episode explains why dividends remain king — and when that might change. #DividendInvesting #TreasuryYields #IncomeStocks #Verizon #JohnsonAndJohnson #CocaCola #VYM #SCHD #YieldCurve #QualifiedDividends #TaxAdvantage #BondsVsStocks #May2026 #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DividendGrowth #IncomePortfolio Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
