Like a lot of investors, you may have noticed that bargain dividend stocks are harder to find. With interest rates near historic lows, investors have bid some of the most dependable dividend stocks up well above their typical valuations, pushing down the yield they pay. This also creates risk for below-average returns as interest rates climb higher and income investors move back to bonds.
While finding both value and reliable dividends hasn't been as easy recently, it's not impossible. This is especially the case after the recent volatility in the markets still has many stocks trading down from their recent highs. Two that particularly stand out right now to me are General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (NYSE:BIP). Not only can you lock in very solid yields of 3.6% and 4.6%, respectively, at recent prices, but you can also buy two of the best businesses in their respective industries at bargain prices.
