S&P 500 Stocks With Yields Over 5% Originally Published On "
long-term-investments.blogspot.com
". The S&P 500 index is a popular used tool by investors.
Professionals like big insurance player or pension funds allocate
their portfolio weighting on indices like the Dow Jones Index and
Standard & Poor's 500. The S&P 500 is a free-float
capitalization-weighted index published since 1957 by Standard
& Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill Companies. For income
investors, people who search the best dividend paying stocks in
order to boost their dividend income, it is very revealing to know
what yields are currently available.
I screened the index with its 500 companies by a minimum
dividend yield of 5 percent. The index has twenty-three high yields
and the highest yield amounts to 13.61 percent, paid by Pitney
Bowes (
PBI
). Eight high yields have a P/E ratio below 15 and nine are
currently recommended to buy.
