3 Cheap Large Cap Dividend Stocks With 25% Discount

With the broader markets at or near all-time highs, there are a lot of analysts who will bemoan that there aren't any cheap investments out there to be had. An even bigger complaint is that investors can't find decent yields from investments because of fed interest rates.

When stocks fall more than 25% from their highs, they can indicate trouble. On the other hand, they can also be buying opportunities.

For these large-cap companies that have economic moats and are at least investment grade if not A-grade, we can lean towards the side that they are more likely bargains at the current lower valuations than trouble. This means they have a good chance of being winners when the companies recover.

Here are the stocks I'm talking about...
