Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The amount of equity is very
important in order to identify the companies’ values. Often, there is a great difference

I screened the S&P 500 by stocks below book value and yields over two
percent inflation target rate. 56 stocks fulfilled these criteria but only 17 have a yield of more than two percent. Three of the results are high yields and ten are
currently recommended to buy.
