How to compare dividend yields to S&P 500 with yfinance?

I would like to compare the dividend yields of a list of ticker symbols to that of the S&P 500. I have a list of ticker symbols that includes SPY for the S&P 500. When I try and print the trailing annual dividend yield I get "None" returned for SPY though many of the other symbols return yields.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to get the dividend yields (forward or trailing annual) for a large list of stocks? (I noticed this code is slow to run. It takes about 4 seconds per ticker symbol to pull down the dividend yield data.)

My list of ticker symbols is:

['A', 'ABC', 'ADI', 'AEP', 'AFL', 'ALGN', 'AME', 'AMT', 'ANSS', 'APH', 'APTV', 'ARE', 'AZN', 'CAT', 'CCI', 'CNC', 'CNP', 'COST', 'CSX', 'CTAS', 'CTSH', 'DHI', 'DISCA', 'DISCK', 'DOV', 'DTE', 'ED', 'EFX', 'EMR', 'EOG', 'EQIX', 'EQR', 'ETR', 'EW', 'FTI', 'FTV', 'GPN', 'GRMN', 'HAL', 'HON', 'HPE', 'HSIC', 'IFF', 'ILMN', 'IP', 'IQV', 'IT', 'ITW', 'JBHT', 'JCI', 'KEYS', 'LNG', 'LNT', 'LOW', 'MHK', 'MKC', 'MLM', 'MSCI', 'NEE', 'NEM', 'NI', 'NOV', 'NTAP', 'NUE', 'NVDA', 'NXPI', 'O', 'PANW', 'PAYX', 'PCAR', 'PH', 'PLD', 'PXD', 'QQQ', 'REGN', 'RF', 'ROST', 'RSG', 'SBAC', 'SCCO', 'SIVB', 'SLB', 'SNPS', 'SPG', 'SPY', 'SSNC', 'SWKS', 'SYY', 'TFX', 'UNP', 'URI', 'VMC', 'VRSK', 'VRTX', 'WAT', 'WEC', 'WM', 'WPC', 'WRK', 'XLNX', 'ZTS']

Pertinent section of code.

SPYindex = tickerslst.index("SPY")

for stock in tickerslst:
    info = yf.Ticker(stock).info
    divlst.append(info.get('trailingAnnualDividendYield'))
    print(str(tickerslst.index(stock)) + " out of " + str(len(tickerslst)))

print(divlst[SPYindex])
print(divlst)

This is what is returned from the print statements.
