Interested in finding high-yield large-caps to add to your portfolio for the new year?
We ran a screen on large-cap companies (market caps above $10 billion) for those yielding more than 3%. Large-cap companies are considered more stable than their smaller counterparts.
We then screened for those stocks that are undervalued by levered free cash flow/enterprise value. This will provide a starting point for your analysis. This ratio gives us the money that the business can use to grow and pay dividends to shareholders.
