Top Dividend Stocks Offered at Discounted Rates, as Per Morningstar's Assessment
In a recent development, financial research firm Morningstar has compiled a list of the top 10 dividend stocks that are currently considered undervalued in the stock market. The list, which does not provide specific details about the ten stocks, has been met with interest from investors seeking stable income sources, particularly during uncertain market times.
According to David Harrell, editor of Morningstar DividendInvestor, the search for dividend-paying stocks in the stock market should focus on their sustainability and reliability. He looks for companies whose management supports dividend strategies and possesses competitive advantages and economic moats.
Morningstar Indexes, the entity within Morningstar responsible for creating and maintaining indexes, has developed the index used to compile the list. The report does not provide the exact full list of all ten companies in the report, but it does highlight financially solid firms with strong dividends according to Morningstar experts. U.S. Bancorp, with a dividend yield of 4.10%, is one of the companies mentioned in the report.
Börsenmedien AG, a German media company, has developed an index and holds the rights to it. The company has entered into a cooperation agreement with the issuers of the displayed securities, where it grants issuers a license to use the index and receives remuneration from them.
It is important to note that an Economic Moat Rating is not a guarantee of dividends, but it has shown strong correlations with dividend consistency, according to Harrell. Investors might want to avoid companies with a high yield that are not sustainable in the stock market, as they can lead into trouble spots and dividend traps.
The Global Dividend Stars Index by BÖRSE ONLINE is another option for those who are fans of dividend stocks in the stock market. The report from Morningstar does not provide specific details about the ten stocks on the list, but it does emphasise the importance of considering the sustainability and reliability of the dividend, in addition to the high yield.
Dan Lefkovitz, strategist at Morningstar Indexes, reiterates the importance of reliable dividend payers. He states that these companies typically have a stable and reliable business model with solid numbers. The CEO and majority shareholder of the publisher Börsenmedien AG, Mr. Bernd Förtsch, has direct and indirect positions in ExxonMobil and Altria Group, which could benefit from potential price developments resulting from the publication.
In conclusion, Morningstar's latest report lists ten candidates for top dividend stocks that are currently considered undervalued in the stock market. Investors are advised to carefully consider the sustainability and reliability of these stocks before making any investment decisions in the stock market.
