A key factor that investors have recently made it a point to look for in investments is the attractiveness of large-cap, high yielding stocks. This is because such stocks are a more secure investment compared to other stocks that perform poorly in uncertain market conditions. This has led many investors to shift their focus on achieving yield rather than capital growth. In this article, I will discuss five high quality stocks that offer attractive yields at current price levels.
By my standards, an attractive, safe yield is between 2% and 5% in today's market. I have chosen these stocks because they have consistently high returns on equity, strong market position, historically consistent dividends, and strong operating cash flows. Abbott Labs (ABT), Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), Duke Energy (DUK), General Mills (GIS) and H.J. Heinz (HNZ).
