13 Low Beta Consumer Goods Stocks With Highest Yield

Low Beta Dividend Stocks from Consumer Goods Sector with Best Dividend Yield by Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The consumer goods sector is an interesting field for investors with risk aversion. Recession or not, consumer goods companies have usually low fluctuations in their operational performance. The low cyclic in sales and income affects mostly the stock price which has therefore a low beta (Correlation between stock market and share price). The lower the beta ratio, the less the correlation is between capital market performance and the stock price.

I screened the consumer goods sector by stocks with lowest beta ratios as well as a dividend yield of more than 4 percent. As beta criterion, I selected a value of less than 1. Only 15 stocks remained of which 4 had a beta ratio of less than 0.5.

Here are my 3 most promising stocks from the screening results:
