The S&P 500 Yield Is the Lowest in History: 5 Members of the Legacy Index Yield 6% or More

Quick Read The S&P 500's combined dividend yield hit a record-low 1.04%, but five index members still deliver dividends of 6% or more, all rated Buy. General Mills (GIS) yields 6.9% at just 10x 2026 earnings, while Verizon (VZ) has raised its dividend for 20 consecutive years. Since 1926, dividends have contributed 32% of the S&P 500's total return, and payers have delivered more than double the returns of non-payers. It sounds nuts, but SoFi1 is giving new Active Invest users up to $3,000 in stock for a limited time, and all it takes is a $50 deposit to get started.2 See for yourself (Sponsor

Trump administration proposes closing loophole for food ingredients

[Woman Reading Ingredients On Food Item] Tom Werner/DigitalVision via Getty Images The Trump administration plans to tighten oversight of ingredients as part of Health Secretary Robert F.

The Department of Health and Human Services proposed a new rule to close a decadeslong loophole that allowed companies to declare ingredients as safe without notifying the Food and Drug Administration. If finalized, companies would be required to notify the FDA whenever they conclude an ingredient is "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS). The FDA will seek pub

How the page works

How to read the score

Tone is directional

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean a balanced tape or that direction has been withheld for insufficient evidence; the status label distinguishes them.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

Classification, not prediction

The page describes completed evidence available at the stated time. It is research context, not a forecast, recommendation, target or execution instruction.
