15 Of The Cheapest High-Yield Large Caps To Consider

The Cheapest High Yield Large Capitalized Stocks Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I like high yields due to the high amount of cash dividends I receive as a shareholder. But dividends are not often safe. Especially smaller stocks have a higher risk for dividend cuts. I´ve tried to figure out some stocks with a large capitalization (over USD 10 billion), a high dividend yield (over five percent) and finally a cheap P/E and forward P/E of less than 15. Only 15 from 35 large cap high yields fulfilled these criteria. Three have a double-digit yield and nine are currently recommended to buy.


Here are my favorite stocks:
