Dividend stocks are back in favor again. That means it's time to consider dividend ETFs you may have ignored in recent years.
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD 0.16%) is the top-performing U.S. dividend ETF so far in 2026. Its strategy of requiring at least 10 consecutive years of dividend payments, strong balance sheet fundamentals, and above-average yields produces a "best of the best" stock portfolio that has delivered for shareholders.
That strategy aligns with what investors are looking for right now. It may even be a better investment than the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO 0.67%) at the moment.
