  • According to S&P's Howard Silverblatt, S&P 500 companies paid out $103B in dividends in Q4 - the first time payouts have ever topped $100B in a quarter.
  • Full-year 2016 dividends of $397B were also a record.
  • Silverblatt expects another record year in 2017 - the only question is whether dividend growth returns to 10% after dipping to 5% last year. What happens in D.C. with regards to tax reform/repatriation will be the key.
