Why income stocks are attractive now
There are several reasons why we believe that income stocks could be an attractive option for investors in 2022:
1
Income prospects look attractive versus other income alternatives. Dividends may provide better inflation protection, and they are often more sustainable owing to many companies lowering payout ratios.
2
Income stocks remain cheap compared to the overall market and growth stocks, despite the strong comeback in dividends that we have seen in 2021. Elevated valuations and more nomalised earnings expectations should move the market focus back to dividends: a higher percentage of total return could come from dividends.
3
Income stocks can provide diversification to any portfolio. Amid the global recovery from the pandemic, they have demonstrated an ability to decouple from the growth stocks, whenever the latter have come under pressure.
Value-orientated companies paying good dividend yields act differently to the rest of the market in a more inflationary environment

Dividend prospects to remain bright in 2022
Newton’s equity income team expects earnings and dividend growth to remain relatively healthy in companies with safe balance sheets and low payout ratios – those with a track record of successfully adapting to a changing world. These are often well-known brand names that have successfully transitioned over time, including through world wars, inflation and deflation.
Dividend Sustainability
Newton believes dividends look more sustainable today than in previous market downturns. This is because during the pandemic companies reduced payout ratios. Distributing a lower percentage of earnings to shareholders means dividend coverage looks high, creating a buffer.
