Investors may have turned for a moment from Russia’s aggression in Ukraine to energy and supply shortages in the U.S. that are producing high inflation.
Regardless of how you are affected by inflation, you might find stocks with dividend yields of 3.5% or more attractive, especially when the companies have enough expected cash flow to cover even higher payouts. That 3.5% threshold compares favorably with a yield of about 2% on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes TMUBMUSD10Y, 2.017%.
We then limited the list to companies expected to increase sales and EPS more quickly than the S&P 500 during calendar 2022, with dividend yields of at least 3.5% that are well-covered by estimated free cash flow.
Oil & gas are not the future. Those investing in those stocks are not in it for the long-haul, but rather to make a quick buck.
