Basic Material Dividend Stocks With Highest YTD Performance And Which Are Still Cheap

Basic material dividend stocks with highest performance year-to-date originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The basic material stock category were the real losing sector this year. Stocks from the sector are down 2.6 percent this year while the best performing sector, healthcare stocks, gained 24.3 percent.

But not all basic materials are loser. There are stocks that doubled its price since the beginning of this year. Others are up 50 percent. Below, you can find a small list of the 20 top basic material stocks. I excluded all companies with a market capitalization below USD 300 million and those without a dividend.

The 20 top dividend paying results gained from 44.58 percent to 65.14 percent. Three of the results have a market cap below a billion and additional seven are valuated between one or two billion. Small and mid-cap stocks are the main performance driver of the sector. Despite the strong stock price hikes, fourteen companies still have a buy or better rating.
