5 High Earnings Yield Stocks Worthy of Your Attention
For investors wanting to gain exposure to stocks as well as bonds, a simple yet effective measure to use is earnings yield. The ratio is an inverse of the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which is usually utilized to find undervalued stocks. However, for the comparison of stocks with fixed income securities or the market at large, earnings yield may prove to be more apt.
Earnings yield is calculated as (Annual Earnings per Share/Market Price) x 100. Stocks with higher earnings yield are expected to offer better returns.
Earnings yield may also be used to compare the performance of a market index with the 10-year Treasury yield. The market index is considered undervalued compared to the 10-year Treasury bill when market yield is higher than that of bond. In such a situation, value investors may choose to invest in the stock market rather than the 10-year Treasury bill.
However, investors must remember that T-bills are risk free, while stock investments come with a caveat. Thus, it would be a good idea to add a risk premium to the Treasury yield while comparing it with the earnings yield of a stock or the overall market.
