Defensive investors like high dividend stocks since they believe these stocks can protect them from potential inflation. Utility companies are good examples of defensive stocks with generally high and stable yields. Below we prepared a list of eight utility companies that pay fat dividend checks and have low P/E ratios. All companies on this list have a market capitalization above $5 billion, P/E ratio lower than 15 and dividend yield of at least 4%.
Exelon Corporation (EXC), American Electric Power Co., Inc. (AEP), PPL Corporation (PPL), Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PEG), Entergy Corporation (ETR), DTE Energy Co. (DTE), Ameren Corporation (AEE) and SCANA Corp. (SCG).
