6 Cheap And High Yielding Stocks From The S&P 500 To Outlast A Low Interest Span

Yields on dividend stocks are significantly higher than they were last year, but they’re still pretty paltry compared with historical norms. The yield on the S&P 500 is now up to 2.27%.

In addition to less-than-stellar payouts, decent yields are hard to come by in another way: There’s just not a whole lot of choice.

Only about only about 20 companies in the S&P 500 carry dividend yields of at least 4%. On top of all that, you don’t want to overpay for yield, so you want to identify cheap stocks.

After all, dividend stocks are best used as long-term holdings, and valuations tend to revert to the mean over time.

That means shares with high price-to-earnings multiples are in danger of having a day of reckoning. Cheap stocks, however, can get a boost from multiple expansion.

Attached you can finf 6 large cap stocks from the S&P 500 that might give your a solid and stable return during the low interest environment.
