Barclays: These Stocks Are Most At Risk From Interest Rate Hikes
For dividend investors, rising long-term interest rates do represent a risk factor. In a rising interest-rate environment, high-dividend-paying stocks have historically underperformed their lower-yielding and non-dividend-paying counterparts; cash flows out of higher yielding riskier assets in favor of lower-risk assets.
