Who doesn't love dividends? Most investors can agree that dividends are usually a big plus for owning a stock. This is even more important in a low-interest environment, where fixed income is low yielding, rates on savings accounts and CDs is abysmal and the overall market dividend yield is forced downward. Currently, the S&P 500 dividend yield is well off historical averages, with a 1.9% average dividend yield, compared to the historical average of 4.4%.
We have found five dividend stocks that are underpriced (trading below the market P/E) and have safe dividends (all have a payout ratio of less than 40%). All five of the underpriced stocks below trade with price to earnings ratios of less than 15.5x, which is well below the market's near 20x P/E: AFLAC (AFL), Ameriprise Financial (AMP), The Chubb Corporation (CB), Chevron (CVX) and Exxon Mobil (XOM).
