The investment bank concludes that the current low-yield environment makes high dividend yields of stable companies highly desirable. Treasury yields are breaching new lows, while the S&P500 index SPX is generating a low yield of 2.2%. Many stocks with strong fundamentals are yielding double the comparable rates on Treasuries and the broad market.
Below is an overview of five "safe and fundamentally and quantitatively attractive" dividend stock picks by Morgan Stanley: Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX), Chevron Corporation (CVX), Staples Inc. (SPLS), MetLife Inc. (MET) and St. Jude Medical Inc. (STJ).
