Stocks with a low valuation are also rare. For instance, the popular S&P 500 index has only 28 members with a P/E below 10. Around 80 percent of them, in total 23, pay dividends. Current P/E’s are great but it’s always good to look at the forward P/E because it uses the future earnings of the company.
Only 16 companies from the S&P 500 have both, a current P/E and forward P/E of less than 10. If you buy those stocks you purchase them for a net income yield of 10 percent. That’s a good value in my view if the business works robust and grows with a pace of 5 to 10 percent yearly. You can find a full list of the 15 dividend paying stocks with a single P/E below. Insurer and oil & gas refining & marketing companies are mostly represented on the screen.
Here are my favorite stocks:
