4 High-Earnings-Yield Value Stocks You Should Own

The U.S. stock market bounced back from its April lows, ending the first half of the year on a strong note. Fears over the impact of tariffs somewhat eased, and a strong June jobs report helped ease concerns about an economic slowdown. But despite the rebound, there’s still an air of caution. Trade tensions remain unresolved, with the risk of additional tariffs on the table. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates remains uncertain, despite growing pressure from U.S. President Trump.

In a market clouded by unpredictability, value investing is a sensible strategy. These are stocks of companies that may be undervalued but have strong fundamentals. They tend to offer stability when markets get shaky, with the potential for long-term gains. Rather than chasing fast-moving, hype-driven stocks, putting your money into solid businesses trading at fair or discounted prices could be the smarter move now.

Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co., Eldorado Gold, Hope Bancorp Inc. and Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. are some value stocks with high earnings yield that investors can consider betting on.

Earnings Yield Metric Strength

Earnings yield, expressed in percentage, is calculated as (Annual Earnings per Share/Market Price) x 100. This metric measures the anticipated yield (or return) from earnings for each dollar invested in a stock today. While comparing stocks, if other factors are similar, investors can look for the one with a higher earnings yield. Firms with higher earnings yield are considered underpriced, while those with lower earnings yield are seen as overpriced.

Importantly, earnings yield can also be used to compare the performance of a market index with the 10-year Treasury yield to get a sense of the return on investment it offers compared to virtually risk-free returns. When the yield of the market index is more than the 10-year Treasury yield, stocks can be considered as undervalued than bonds. In this situation, investing in the stock market would be a better option for a value investor.
