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.
In this spreadsheet I am saying stocks are relatively cheap by comparing the current dividend yield to the historically high dividend yield, the historically average dividend yield and the median dividend yield over the past 5 years. Note that my historical data varies by company.
When I say a stock is showing as relatively cheap historically I mean that the current dividend yield is higher than the historically high dividend yield. When I say that a stock is relatively cheap by the historical average, I mean that the current dividend yield is higher than the historical average dividend yield. When I say a stock is showing as relatively cheap by the 5 year median, I mean that the current dividend yield is higher than the 5 year median dividend yield.
Of the consumer discretionary stocks, Dorel Industries (TSX-DII.B A) is showing as relatively cheap historically. Other consumer discretionary stocks are relatively cheap by the historical average such as Goodfellow Inc. (TSX-GDL), Leon's Furniture (TSX-LNF) and Newfoundland Capital Corp (TYSX-NCC.A).
One Consumer Staple stocks is relatively cheap by the historical average and that is Saputo Inc. (TSX-SAP). Rogers' Sugar (TSX-RSI) is showing as relatively cheap by the 5 year median.
Both the US Health Care stocks I follow, that is Johnson and Johnson (NYSE-JNJ) and Medtronic Inc. (NYSE-MDT) are relatively cheap by the historical average.
Of the Real Estate Stocks, Granite Real Estate (TSX-GRT.UN) is relatively cheap by the historical average and H & R Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX-HR.UN) is showing as relatively cheap by the 5 year median.
