CNBC Pro screened for high-yielding stocks which are also analyst favorites.
High-yielding stocks are back in the spotlight as volatility persists, inflation remains hot and Treasury yields continue to rise. Data released last week showed that U.S. consumer inflation rose by 0.5% in January and was up 6.4% from a year ago — a larger-than-expected increase. Several Fed speakers hinted at further interest rate hikes after the data was released.
Pro screened the S & P 500 and the MSCI World on Factset for high-yielding stocks which are analyst favorites. The screen imposed the following criteria: A dividend yield of more than 5%; Potential upside to price target of more than 10%; Positive earnings-per-share growth expectations this year; A buy rating from at least 40% of analysts. A slew of energy names appeared on the screen, such as U.S.-based EOG Resources and Australia's Origin Energy.
