There is always something to buy in the stock market. On Monday, I put out a list of the stocks that I covered and showed what stock might be a good deal based on dividend yield. Now I am trying to categorize what sorts of stocks may be a good deal based on dividend yield.
Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See my spreadsheet at here. As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or a number of lines for better viewing.
Of the consumer discretionary stocks, Canadian Tire Corp (TSX-CTC.A, OTC-CDNAF) is still looking cheap. Also, Thomson Reuters Corp (TSX-TRI, NYSE-TRI, LSE-TRIL) is showing up as cheap this month. A number of Consumer Staple stocks seem to be cheap. Examples would be Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX-DII.B; OTC-DIIBF), Jean Coutu Group Inc. (TSX-PJC.A, OTC-JCOUF), Metro Inc. (TSX-MRU, OTC-MTRAF), and Saputo Inc. (TSX-SAP; OTC-SAPIF).
Under Health Care, both the companies I found are showing as cheap. These are Johnson and Johnson (NYSE-JNJ) and Medtronic Inc. (NYSE-MDT).
Of the Real Estate Stocks that I follow only Granite REIT (TSX-GRT.UN; NYSE-GRP.U) is showing as cheap.
Some of the banks still seem to be cheap. These would be National Bank of Canada (TSX-NA, OTC-NTIOF), and Royal Bank of Canada (TSX-RY, NYSE-RY) that are looking cheap.
There are some in financial services that deserve to be cheap, like AGF Management Ltd (TSX-AGF.B, OTC-AGFMF). My list also shows that on a historical average basis CI Financial Corp (TSX-CIX, OTC-CIFAF), IGM Financial Inc. (TSX-IGM, OTC-IGIFF) and Power Corp (TSX-POW, OTC-PWCDF) are currently cheap.
For insurance companies, only Power Financial Corp. (TSX-PWF, OTC-POFNF) is showing as cheap.
There are a few cheap Industrial stocks like Bombardier Inc. (TSX-BBD.B, OTC-BDRAF), Pason Systems Inc. (TSX-PSI, OTC-PSYTF), PFB Corp. (TSX-PFB, OTC-PFBOF) and SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (TSX-SNC, OTC-SNCAF). Others are cheap for a reason, like Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (TSX-HPS.A, OTC-HMDPF) and Transcontinental Inc. (TSX-TCL.A, OTC-TCLAF).
There are not many companies cheap in the Tech sector except for small companies like Calian Technologies Ltd. (TSX-CTY, OTC-CLNFF) and Evertz Technologies Ltd. (TSX-ET; OTC-EVTZF).
A number of energy stocks also seem cheap. Examples are Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX-CNQ, NYSE-CNQ); Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. (TSX-COS, OTC-COSWF), Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX-CVE, NYSE-CVE), Ensign Energy Services Inc. (TSX-ESI, OTC-ESVIF) and Suncor Energy Inc. (TSX-SU, NYSE-SU).
The infrastructure type utility companies are not cheap. The only utility that is coming up cheap is Just Energy Group Inc. (TSX-JE, NYSE-JE).
Of the Telecom Stocks BCE Inc. (TSX-BCE, NYSE-BCE) and Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX-SJR.B, NYSE-SJR) seem on the cheap side. I think that Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. (TSX-MBT, OTC-MOBAF) and WiLan Inc. (TSX-WIN, NASDAQ-WILN) are cheap for a good reason.
On my other blog I am today writing about ATCO Ltd. (TSX-ACO.X, OTC-ACLLF) ... continue...
