7 Low Volatility Stocks With Double-Digit Yields

Safe Stocks With Over 10% Dividend Yield Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Stocks with a yield over ten percent are often mocked as not sustainable. Sure, some companies pay such dividends only for a few quarters until they cut dividends. But if the company pays the double-digit yield for a few years, you have earned at least enough to overcompensate expected share price losses. However, I screened the capital market by stocks with a double-digit yield and a beta ratio below one (less volatile than the market). In order to exclude the risks of low capitalized and hidden stocks, I decided to screen only those companies with a capitalization over USD 2 billion. Seven stocks met the mentioned criteria of which five have a buy or better rating.

Here are my favorite stocks:
