Hormel Foods Corp. (Symbol: HRL) shares traded at around $23.19 on Friday, yielding above 5% based on its quarterly dividend of $1.17, annualized. This places Hormel among the S&P 500 companies, which historically have contributed to substantial market returns through dividends. For example, an investment in the S&P 500 ETF on December 31, 1999, yielded a total return of 23.36% over 13 years, largely driven by dividend payouts despite a nominal decline in share price.
