In a recent research note to clients, Morgan Stanley (MS) identified a list of dividendstocks that it considers “safe and fundamentally and quantitatively attractive.” The investment bank concludes that the current low-yield environment makes high dividend yields of stable companies highly desirable. Treasury yields are breaching new lows, while the S&P500 index is generating a low yield of 2.2%. Many stocks with strong fundamentals are yielding double the comparable rates on Treasuries and the broad market.
