Goldman notes that high-dividend payers are trading at their largest valuation discount in nearly 40 years.

"With the 10-year Treasury yield at just 1.5% and the Fed likely to cut two more times this year, investors should look for opportunities in dividend stocks," says David Kostin, Goldman's chief U.S. equity strategist.AT&T, Kohl's and data storage company Seagate Technology all sport a dividend yield of about 6%, Goldman notes.

Investors have piled into safe-haven Treasurys recently, pushing bond yields to their historic lows last week as stocks sold off. If the market remains shaky in the face of a slowing global economy and the intensified trade war, investors may look to stocks with more steady dividend income, according to Goldman.
