SCHD ETF becomes more appealing for income investors as dividend stocks drop post-Fed decision.

The recent drop in dividend stocks due to the Federal Reserve's decision to slow interest rate hikes has made the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) more attractive for income-focused investors. With a 3.8% dividend yield and a diversified portfolio of high-yielding U.S. stocks like Cisco Systems, Blackrock, and Home Depot, the ETF offers an average annual total return of 13.8% since 2011. Historically, dividend-growers have outperformed non-payers, making SCHD a potentially strong buy for those seeking income.
