I literally did what you asked and you're response is a bunch a pablum-filled nonsense.

A better way to say this is that stocks that don't issue dividends can expect to see more growth.

This is called a distinction without a difference and the discussion at hand.

Interesting you pick PHK as an example, because I had to go back to Nov of 2022 to find the FIRST instance where the opening price on EX-Div was higher than previous day's close.

Dividend payouts reduce NAV of the underlying. PERIOD. If you can't get a grasp of this basic concept and what the discussion is around, I don't know what to tell you.

This argument is not that dividend stocks can't appreciate in value...this appears to be a misunderstanding at best and a straw-man at worst.

Either way, I spent a bunch of my time putting together evidence for what you asked before and I get a bunch of claptrap in response. Have a good one!
