Page 2 of 2
  • KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) is a regional financial institution with a market cap of $10 billion. The company increased its yield by 10% last week and has strong upside potential with the rest of the financial industry. Unlike the previous three stocks, KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) is cyclical, needing a strong economy to produce strong fundamental growth. However, with the housing market on the rise, it might be a good addition to your portfolio with deep value being presented.
  • Coach, Inc. (NYSE:COH) is also a cyclical stock, as it develops apparel such as handbags and wallets for mostly women. The company has 7% growth (significantly more than the S&P 500) and also greater than the retail industry. Last week the company increased its yield by 12.50%, thus it has become a high-yield investment. In addition, the company trades at a discount to the S&P 500 with a P/E ratio of just 16, meaning it might become a good investment in your portfolio.
  • Conclusion

    Currently, the S&P 500 is paying out a yield of 2.03%, therefore each of the companies on this list have a greater yield (after recent boosts) and trade at a discount compared to fundamentals. This comparison is one of the first steps in determining if a stock might present upside. Next, you have to determine if the investment might fit into your portfolio, with your own due diligence. Overall, I think this individual research of these five companies is worth your time, as you might find a good long-term investment in a company that gives back to its shareholders.
