Should You Sell After A Dividend Cut?

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:20:00 GMT

In a recent report Standard and Poors predicted that dividend growth will slow in 2008 and probably become negative in 2009 as more industries are affected by the current economic slowdown. There were several dividend cuts and eliminations last week. Stocks that cut or eliminate their dividends tend to underperform the S&P 500 over time.

The outlook for McGraw-Hill's (MHP) Financial Services (45% of revenue) segment is murky. Operating income shrank 17% in 4Q07.
