How are 24/7 Wall St.'s March dividend stock picks performing?
24/7 Wall St.'s three dividend picks from early March are up an average of 3.8% over six months, lagging the S&P 500's 12.2% return by 8.4 percentage points. Only one of the three recommendations is currently beating the market.
Prudential Financial (PRU) is the clear standout, posting a 21.8% gain and accounting for most of the portfolio's positive return. The other two picks have dragged down the average.
The gap between the best performer and the overall portfolio return highlights the uneven performance across these dividend-focused recommendations. The S&P 500 has outpaced the group by a wide margin at the six-month mark.
