13 Value Stocks to Buy With High Dividend Yields

In this article, we discuss 13 value stocks to buy with high dividend yields. You can skip our detailed analysis of value and dividend stocks and their performance in the past, and go directly to read 5 Value Stocks to Buy With High Dividend Yields

Value stocks trade at a price lower than their intrinsic or true value. These stocks are typically associated with companies that have solid fundamentals but are currently out of favor with investors, resulting in lower stock prices relative to their earnings, assets, and other metrics. Historically, growth stocks have beaten value stocks for the most part, however, value investment strategy has proven to be successful over the long term. Bank of America estimated that value investing has returned 1,344,600% since 1926, whereas growth stocks delivered a 626,000% return during the same period.

The historical performance of value and growth stocks has varied over time, with periods of outperformance for each strategy. During years of high inflation, investors turn toward stocks with lower valuations and high dividend yields, which results in the solid performance of value stocks. Last year’s consistent interest rate hikes have given value equities their much-awaited comeback after underperforming growth securities for over a decade. According to a report by T. Rowe Price, the MSCI World Value Index outperformed its growth counterpart by over 20 percentage points last year. The report also mentioned that periods of high-interest rates create broader earnings growth in equity markets, resulting in a strong performance of value stocks.

In one of our articles titled 11 Best Undervalued Dividend Stocks to Buy Now, we reported that value stocks surpassed growth equities by 18 percentage points in the first 10 months of 2022.

Another report by Schroders revealed that periods of economic slowdown bode well for value stocks in the past. The asset management company gave a positive outlook on value investing and mentioned that value equities will outperform the broader market by 11.8% cumulatively over the next three years.

Dividend stocks are also grabbing investors’ attention in addition to value stocks. Some of the best dividend stocks such as The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), and The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) are popular because these companies have rewarded shareholders with decades of dividend growth and have strong cash flows.

Our Methodology:

For this list, we used the Finviz stock screener to identify dividend stocks with yields above 7%, as of April 26. From the resultant list, we shortlisted 13 stocks with P/E ratios less than 15, which means that they are traded below their intrinsic value. We also measured hedge fund sentiment around each stock as per Insider Monkey’s database of Q4 2022. The stocks are ranked in descending order of their P/E ratios, as of April 26.

“Our biggest dollar gainer within this period was Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN), a position which emanated from a takeover in early 2021 of our long time holding WPX Energy. We are sitting on a material (unrealized) gain from our cost and are now receiving material dividends thanks to Devon’s thoughtful fixed/variable dividend policy. Energy is now a hot sector for investors but we have had a material exposure for a long time. We remember a bit too well $40 oil, NEGATIVELY PRICED front-month oil contract, and what it’s like to own a company with leverage and negative free cash flow during such periods. Our desire to have our biggest portfolio exposures be high return, growing, reasonably predictable and moderately levered companies lead us to reduce our Devon exposure in the past. When the recent facts and circumstances for the industry changed and appeared supportive of healthy oil prices, we decided to maintain a sizable holding and more recently added to the position. At Devon’s Q1 dividend rate, which is mostly variable in nature, the shares now yield approximately 10% and our yield on our average cost is materially higher. In addition, we maintain additional energy exposure through our long-term (and successful) holding in Hess Midstream and less directly through TerraVest and Berkshire Hathaway’s energy investments.”
