There is a significant silent crash occurring over the past two months among dividend stocks. Look at what happened to KO and PEP today and so far for the year. But they’re not alone, there are many others - MCD, GIS, TGT, MO, O, DG, NEE, etc. I guess dividend investors are having a hard time passing up on that risk free rate currently being offered by treasuries.
There is much gnashing of teeth over at r/dividends.

I’m not familiar with that forum but I can only imagine. The suddenness and severity of these drops in many of these names hasn’t been seen since March 2020 and only occurs once every 4-5 years on average.

There are a few disciplined long-time dividend investors there but they are outnumbered by a young bunch who chase the highest yielders and who feel betrayed by the drop in the share prices. Some have mentioned that they are unloading to reevaluate the whole dividend portfolio idea. Who'd have ever thunk that a portfolio of 100% JEPI yielding 10% could lose value?

Likely a lot more pain ahead for dividend stocks too if rates continues to rise.
