    Stocks with low P/E ratios can offer attractive returns if their valuation multiples expand.

    And when a low P/E stock also has a high dividend yield, investors get ‘paid to wait’ for the valuation multiple to increase.

    We define a high-yield stock as one with a current dividend yield of 5% or higher.

    The free high dividend stocks list spreadsheet below has our full list of individual securities (stocks, REITs, MLPs, etc.) with with 5%+ dividend yields.

    In this research report, we discuss the prospects of 20 undervalued high dividend stocks, which are currently trading at P/E ratios under 10 and are offering dividend yields above 5.0%.

    International stocks were excluded from this report.

    We have ranked the stocks by P/E ratio, from lowest to highest. For REITs, we use P/FFO in place of the P/E ratio. And for MLPs, we use P/DCF (which is distributable cash flows).

    These are comparable metrics similar to earnings for common stocks.

    These 20 dividend stocks have not been screened for dividend safety. Instead, these are the 20 most undervalued stocks in the Sure Analysis Research Database with high dividend yields.

    Macy’s reported its fourth quarter earnings results on March 6. The company reported that its revenues totaled $7.77 billion during the quarter, which was above what the analyst community forecasted, with the consensus estimate being beaten by $13 million. Macy’s revenues were down by 4% versus the previous year’s quarter.

    For 2025, earnings-per-share are now forecasted to be between $2.05 and $2.25 according to management’s current guidance, which indicates that the company’s earnings-per-share will likely continue to pull back this year on the back of weaker consumer sentiment that hurts Macy’s business outlook.
