US Treasury and S&P 500 yield divergence
Overview
The relationship between S&P 500 equity yields and US Treasury yields has shifted toward a significant divergence. In mid-September 2026, 10-year Treasury yields reached levels near 5%, while the average dividend yield for the S&P 500 was approximately 1.1%. Data showed that 69% of profitable US companies valued over $10 billion possessed earnings yields lower than the 10-year Treasury.
By late October 2026, the gap widened further. The S&P 500 yield sat at approximately 3.7% while 10-year US Treasury yields exceeded 5.3%. This created a negative equity risk premium of about 1.6 percentage points. While historical data suggests negative premiums do not always trigger bear markets, they have frequently been associated with weaker investment returns in following years.
