Should I Buy BT Group plc or J Sainsbury plc? (Fool)
The FTSE 100 is the UK’s blue chip stock index, but surprisingly few of these companies earn the majority of their profits in the UK. Two companies that do are BT Group (LSE: BT-A) (NYSE: BT.US) and J Sainsbury plc (LON:SBRY) (NASDAQOTH: JSAIY.US). Both shares offer the potential for rising earnings and dividends over the medium term, but which of these two household names would be the better buy for my portfolio? …Based on these figures, Sainsbury looks like a far more reliable and consistent performer, with a five-year history of solid earnings and dividend growth. Sainsbury’s 4.3% trailing dividend yield is also superior to BT’s 3.1% yield, which is no better than the FTSE 100 average — but far more risky, since it comes from a single share.
