Foreword

This article is based on a June 29, 2023 list of high-yield large-cap stocks published by DogsOfTheDow.com entitled,

Highest Dividend Paying Large-Cap Stocks

Yields for those top big dog 50 were all greater than 3.8% in early May. In late May the minimum yield was at 4.49% and June bottomed out at 5.9%!

“The advantage of focusing on large-cap stocks is that these companies tend to be less volatile and also tend to have more resources (e.g. strong management, access to credit, etc.) to maintain their dividend payments over the long-term.”

-Dogs of the Dow

Any collection of stocks is more clearly understood when subjected to this yield-based (dog catcher) analysis, these high-dividend large -cap stocks are perfect for the dogcatcher process. Below is June 29 data for 50 dividend paying stocks including 44 living up to the dogcatcher ‘ideal’ in this one-source collection.

The Ides of March 2020 plunge in the stock market took its toll on stocks over three and one quarter years ago. However, sudden recovery in prices after the plunge by these fifty dividend stocks made the possibility of owning productive dividend shares from this collection more remote for first-time investors.

July, 2023 shows a glimmer of light from forty-four large-cap and high-yield stocks emerging as dogcatcher ideal candidates. They are:

Actionable Conclusions (1-10): Brokers Estimated Top-Ten July High-Dividend Large-Cap Stocks Might Net 31.24% to 56.04% Net Gains By 2024

Four of the top-yield high-dividend large-cap Stocks (tinted in the chart below) were also the top gainers for the coming year based on analyst 1-year targets. Thus, the top yield dog strategy for this group, as graded by analyst estimates for this month, proved 40% accurate.

Estimated dividend-returns from $1000 invested in each of the highest-yielding stocks and their aggregate one-year analyst median-target prices, as reported by YCharts, created the 2023-24 data points. (However, one year target-prices by lone analysts were not counted.) The resulting ten probable best profit-generating highest-dividend large-cap stocks projected to July, 2024, by that reckoning, were:

The average net-gain in dividend and price was 42.52% on $10k invested as $1k in each of these ten high-dividend large-cap stocks. This gain estimate was subject to average risk/volatility 37% greater than the market as a whole.

The Dividend Dogs Rule

The “dog” moniker was earned by stocks exhibiting three traits: (1) paying reliable, repeating dividends, (2) their prices fell to where (3) yield (dividend/price) grew higher than their peers. Thus, the highest yielding stocks in any collection became known as “dogs.” More specifically, these are, in fact, best called, “underdogs”.

This list of broker-estimated upside (or downside) for stock prices provides a scale of market popularity. Note: no broker coverage or one broker coverage produced a zero score on the above scale. This scale can be taken as an emotional component as opposed to the strictly monetary and objective dividend/price yield-driven report below. As noted above, these scores may also be taken as contrarian.

Actionable Conclusions (11-20): Ten Top Stocks By Yield Are The July Dogs of High-Dividend Large-Cap Collection

Top ten High-Dividend Large-Cap Stocks selected 6/29/23 by yield represented just three of eleven Morningstar sectors.

First place was secured by the first of seven energy outfits, Petroleo Brasileiro SA Pertobras [1][2]. The others placed third through sixth, and tenth: Ecopetrol SA (EC) [3]; Icahn Enterprises LP (IEP) [4]; Western Midstream Partners [5]; Pioneer Natural Resources Co [6]; Eni SpA (E) [10].

Finally, seventh place went to the lone communication services member, Vodafone Group PLC; and eight and ninth places were taken by the two financial services representatives in the top ten, Banco De Chile (BCH) [8], and Ares Capital Corp (ARCC) [9], to complete the top ten Dogs of the high-dividend large-cap collection for July.

To quantify top-yield rankings, analyst median-price target estimates provided a “market sentiment” gauge of upside potential. Added to the simple high-yield metrics, analyst median price target estimates became another tool to dig-out bargains.

$5000 invested as $1k in each of the five lowest-priced stocks in the top ten high-dividend large-cap stocks by yield were predicted by analyst 1-year targets to deliver 17.63% more gain than $5,000 invested as $.5k in all ten. The very lowest-priced high-dividend large-cap top-yield stock, Vodafone Group PLC, was projected to deliver the best net gain of 56.04%.

DHDLC (7)10BYPRICE JUL23-24

The five lowest-priced top-yield high-dividend large cap stocks for June 29 were: Vodafone Group PLC; Ecopetrol SA; Petróleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras [2]; Ares Capital Corp, with prices ranging from $9.41 to $18.80

Five higher-priced top-yield high-dividend large cap stocks for June 29 were: Banco De Chile; Western Midstream Partners; Eni SpA; Icahn Enterprises LP; Pioneer Natural Resources Co, whose prices ranged from $20.86 to $206.07.

This distinction between five low-priced dividend dogs and the general field of ten reflected Michael B. O’Higgins’ “basic method” for beating the Dow. The scale of projected gains based on analyst targets added a unique element of “market sentiment” gauging upside potential. It provided a here-and-now equivalent of waiting a year to find out what might happen in the market. Caution is advised, since analysts are historically only 15% to 85% accurate on the direction of change and just 0% to 15% accurate on the degree of change.

Afterword

If somehow you missed the suggestion of the forty-four stocks ripe for picking at the start of the article, here is a repeat of the list at the end:

In the current market advance, dividends from $1K invested in the forty-four stocks listed above met or exceeded their single share prices as of 5/29/23.

As we are over three and one quarter years past the 2020 Ides of March dip, the time to snap up some of those forty-four top yield high-dividend large-cap stocks is now… unless another big bearish drop in price looms ahead. (At which time your strategy would be to add to your holdings.)

Recent vs Fair Top Ten High-Dividend Large-Cap Stock Prices

Since nine of the top-ten high- dividend large-cap stocks are priced less than the annual dividends paid out from a $1K investment, the following top chart shows the dollar and percentage shift required for the lone dog at recent prices to create break-even pricing for all ten. Starting with the dollar and percent variants to all ten top dogs conforming to (but not exceeding) the dogcatcher ideal in the top chart, the recent prices are documented in the middle chart and the fair prices revealed in the bottom chart.

The top chart is an indicator of how low the one non-ideal stock must adjust to become fair-priced. Which means conforming the standard of dividends from $1K invested exceeding the current single share price.

The net gain/loss estimates above did not factor in any foreign or domestic tax problems resulting from distributions. Consult your tax advisor regarding the source and consequences of “dividends” from any investment.

Stocks listed above were suggested only as possible reference points for your 2023 top-yield high-dividend large cap stock purchase or sale research process. These were not recommendations.
