Income-hungry investors continue to flock to stocks over bonds, where yields, while rising, remain relatively low. But how to find attractive investments? Dividend stocks still appeal to investors who need income now and to those who think it’s only fair for companies to reward their owners with a good portion of the profits. And if a high dividend-payer’s sales and profits are also increasing, so much the better.
While only three of these stocks have “buy” ratings from 50% of the analysts and just one does better than that, only three are expected by analysts to show price declines over the next 12 months: Omerga Healthcare Investors Inc. (OHI), Medical Properties Trust Inc. (MPW), Stein Mart Inc.(SMRT), AT&T Inc. (T), and Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ). No method of screening stocks can save you from doing the important research that will help you form an opinion about a company’s likelihood of long-term success with its business strategy. So that’s your next step, hopefully with the help of your broker or investment adviser, if you seen any names you like here.
