Try These High-Yielding Consumer Goods Stocks On For Size

March 24, 2009 3:16 PM EDT
In this tough economic environment, you want to search for stocks that not only may rise, but also currently return income through a dividend. Today, I wanted to highlight a few consumer oriented stocks that produce dividends over 5%. The average return of the stocks in my last column on REITs with dividend yields over 20% is 14% in less than 2 weeks! To that I say, a big Jim Cramer booyah.
  • Reynolds American (NYSE: RAI) yielding 9.3%
  • Avery Dennison (NYSE: AVY) yielding 7.8%
  • British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI) yielding 7.5%
  • Cal-Maine Foods (Nasdaq: CALM) yielding 6.9%
  • Mattel (NYSE: MAT) yielding 6.8%
  • Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI) yielding 6.6%
  • Oshkosh Crop (NYSE: OSK) yielding 6.3%
  • Lorillard (NYSE: LO) yielding 5.9%
  • Kimberly Clark (NYSE: KMB) yielding 5.2%
Now, obviously at any time, these companies can lower their dividend, but if you are looking for some high-yielding dividend stocks, then you should definitely take a look at the above consumer stocks.
