25 Low-volatility Canadian stocks to weather stormy markets

Last year was a difficult one in financial markets and 2023 hasn’t faired much better so far. Silicon Valley Bank recently experienced a bank run and was taken over by regulators, heightening market volatility, especially in the financial sector. Combined with interest rate hikes, inflation and recession fears, some investors are nervous. We’ve had some recent client discussions in this regard.

We also limited the names to those with a beta of less than one as it implies they are less volatile than the general market. Dividend yield is the projected annualized dividend divided by the recent share price. Allan and I love to get paid while we wait for share price appreciation, and as a result we chose securities that yield 2 per cent or more. Payout ratio is the dividend divided by earnings. A lower number is better. It implies the dividend is safer. We have capped payout at 100.
