20 Safe Heaven Large Cap Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 3%

The stock market is currently enjoying a lot of strength, with the major indices trading near record highs, which is a great thing, but it also creates a little fear among investors who expect to see profit takers move in and push the market lower.

When the market is strong as it currently is, you never want to liquidate your holdings in order to avoid a potential selloff, but you should take a look at some of your strongest positions and consider taking some profits off the table to putting your money to work in safer stocks.

Safe-haven stocks are generally very defensive in nature, and while you will not expect to see huge share gains in these stocks, you can typically expect slow and steady gains with little to no risk of a huge sell off.

These stocks look very attractive at this time, and as such you ought to consider adding a few to your portfolio for a little defense and to ensure the latter part of the year is as successful as the first half.

The following 20 stocks are all great safe-haven stocks that I like now by fundamentals and technical indicators. They are in no particular order, and each appear to be solid buy candidates at this point.

20 High Yielding Stocks With A Low Risk Profile To Consider

I want to talk today to a specific audience: current or soon-to-be retirees who have done a great job of saving for retirement but don't want to see their nest egg disappear as they enjoy their golden years.

The backbone of any retirement portfolio is a collection of solid, dividend-paying stocks. It's all the better if those stocks are relatively low-risk. Here I'm going to look at three different stocks that are as boring as they get. They deal with soup, jellies, and paint, among other things.

But for low-risk investors, boring is good. And so is an uber-safe dividend payout. Attached you will find a couple of stocks from my safe heaven list, which is basicly focussed on large caps with low beta ratios and high dividend payments, all with a low debt leverage.

10 Best Stocks To Start Your Dividend Growth Strategy

Dividend investing can add significantly to returns over a lifetime, so beginner investors are right to want to own some dividend-paying stocks in their portfolios.

A company that pays consistent, rising dividends is likely a financially healthy firm that generates consistent cash flow (this cash, after all, is where the dividends come from). 

These companies are often stable, and their stock prices tend to be less volatile than the market in general. As such, they may be lower risk than companies that do not pay dividends and that have more volatile price movements.

Because many dividend-paying stocks are lower risk, the stocks are an appealing investment for both younger people looking for a way to generate income over the long haul, and for people approaching retirement - or who are in retirement - who desire a source of retirement income.

Let's say you're looking for a few things: high-quality, solid dividend cash flow and a reasonable valuation. To meet those tests, you could think about something like this:

- Rated A++ in financial strength,
- 3%+ dividend yield and
- P/E ratio under 15.

Now to be sure this is limited, and it may not be exactly what you're after. Yet it does give you a starting point. When I use those metrics, I go from thousands of securities down to less than a dozen:

20 Safe Stocks To Survive A High Volatility While Receiveing 3% Plus Dividends

Every time it seems safe to go back in the water, oil gets hammered and the stock market dives again. One very good sign is that most of Wall Street is as bearish now as they were in 2009, and after a correction to open the year in January, things are very negative to say the least. 

Given the sparsity of good income investment alternatives now, especially with interest rates continuing to plummet, one good alternative for gun-shy investors is conservative stocks that pay big dividends.

Attached you can find a few stocks from our research that might offer a special hedge in times of high market volatility and rising anxious.

Each of the attached results has a market capitalization over 10 billion and a very low beta of less than half of the market.

Finally I've only listed those stocks with the highest dividend yield.

6 Dividend Grower With The Best Price For Earnings Growth Ratio

Growth is good for investors and a growing company will deliver you a solid return when you have bought shares of the stocks at an attractive price and growth rates gain momentum.

If the outlook and business environment turn into a better perspective is a point that we can't forecast but we can discover if stocks are cheap or expensive in terms of expected growth. 

One fiscal measure that tells us something about cheap growth is the price-earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG). A value below one is a sign that the stock is cheap compared to its forecasted earnings growth.

Below are six good capitalized dividend growth stocks with a low PEG ratio and a dividend yield over two percent.

16 Cheap And High-Yielding Stocks From The S&P 500

S&P 500 stocks with low earnings multiples and high dividends originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I remember times when the popular S&P 500 index had more than 15 constituents of High-Yields. Today we only got seven!

Yes, market getting more and more expensive. The S&P 500 is up 22.85 percent this year and marked All-Time-Highs. In times when P/E’s of 20+ are the new valuation standard, it’s more important to keep an eye on cheaply priced stocks.

That’s the main reason why I would like to produce a screen from the mainstream index S&P 500 by the cheapest and highest yielding stocks measured with a forward P/E of less than 15 and a dividend yield over 4 percent.

Only sixteen corporate stocks fulfilled these criteria of which five have a buy or better rating. Utilities are the dominating investment category.
