What is drip investing sector rotation in early 2024 showed

Sector rotation in early 2024 showed DRIP investing in utilities outperforming broad indexes as weather-driven demand spikes boosted quarterly payout sizes by 6%. Human Rights Watch researcher Joey Shea explained to CBS News , “The Saudi government has invested billions into high profile entertainment events like these in a deliberate effort to whitewash the country’s human rights record and deflect from the egregious abuses that continue to happen inside of the country.” In fiscal Q4 2022, Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE:EMR) reported a strong cash position. The company's operating cash flow came in at $1.2 billion, up 42% from the same period last year. Its free cash flow for the quarter amounted to $1 billion, which also showed a 63% year-over-year growth. For FY23, the company expects to pay nearly $1.2 billion in dividends to shareholders. Financial analysts note DRIP investing works well in dividend aristocrats — firms with 25+ years of payout increases. With consumer staples showing Q1 yield stability at 2.8%, DRIPs remain credible for portfolio growth.
