Newell Brands Passes Through 5% Yield Mark

Group 1 - Newell Brands' shares are yielding above 5% based on its quarterly dividend of $0.28, with the stock trading as low as $5.55 [1] - Historically, dividends have contributed significantly to the total return of the stock market, exemplified by the iShares Russell 3000 ETF, which showed a 0.6% decrease in share price over twelve years but provided $10.77 per share in dividends, resulting in a total return of 13.15% [1] - Collecting a yield above 5% is considered attractive if it is sustainable, especially in comparison to the average annual total return of about 1.0% when dividends are reinvested [1] Group 2 - Dividend amounts are generally unpredictable and fluctuate with each company's profitability, making historical analysis important for assessing the likelihood of continued dividends [2]
