5 Low-Beta, High-Yielding Stocks to Buy in a Capricious Market
Wall Street has been suffering since Black Friday as the resurgence of coronavirus with its new variant – Omicron – has shaken market participants’ confidence across the globe. Moreover, a higher interest rate in 2022 as indicated by several major central banks, has also resulted in severe market volatility.
Despite the fact that December has generally remained favorable on Wall Street, investors are uncertain about the direction of stock market movement in the final eight trading days of this year. At this stage, it will be prudent to invest in low-beta high dividend-paying stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank. Here are five of them — The Travelers Companies, Cincinnati Financial, Duke Energy, C.H. Robinson Worldwide and Bunge.
Omicron Spreads Globally
With the coronavirus pandemic showing no signs of letting up, Wall Street continues to grapple with severe volatility, which has been plaguing it over the last three weeks. The resurgence of coronavirus either in the form of Delta or Omicron, has been creating intermittent hurdles which otherwise could have been a smooth recovery of the global economy.
The available data of Omicron has so far indicated that this variant may be less severe than Delta but highly transmissible. Most of Europe is already affected by Omicron and big nations have opted for partial or full lockdown during the holiday season. Asia is also reporting increasing Omicron cases. In the United States, 25 states have already reported Omicron cases.
On Dec 18, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 89 countries have witnessed the Omicron variant of coronavirus and the number of cases is doubling in 1.5 to 3 days in areas with community transmission. Globally, various sports and entertainment programs have been postponed or cancelled due to the spread of Omicron.
Higher Interest Rate Looms Large
Market participants are wondering whether 2022 will be marked as the year of higher interest rate globally. In the United States, on Dec 15, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said in his post FOMC statement that the central bank will raise the tapering of the monthly bond-buy program from $15 billion per month to $30 billion per month effective January 2022. At this rate, the quantitative easing program will end in March 2022.
Although, Powell refrained of commenting anything on when the Fed will raise the benchmark lending rate and at what magnitude, Fed’s dot-plot indicated that all 18 members are expecting at least one rate hike in 2022. Out of 18 Fed members, 12 are expecting three rate hikes in 2022 followed by a two more rate hikes in 2023 and 2024.
On Dec 17, the Bank of England raised the benchmark interest rate to 0.25{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} from 0.1{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996}. This marked the first rate hike by the British central bank in three years. On Nov 10, the European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Robert Holzmann said that the ECB could stop bond-buying program by September 2022.
The primary concerns of these central bankers are soaring inflation. The pandemic-led global disruption of the supply-chain system inflated input costs while growing demand is pulling up the general price level.
Why Low-Beta Stocks?
Wall Street is suffering from day-to-day fluctuations. In the week ended Dec 10, the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite – rallied 4{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996}, 3.8{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} and 3.5{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996}, respectively.

Nevertheless, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy remained solid. In its latest projection on Dec 16, the Atlanta Fed reported that the U.S. economy would grow by 7.2{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} in fourth-quarter 2021. U.S. GDP grew 6.4{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996}, 6.7{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} and 2.1{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996}, in the first, second and third quarters of this year, respectively. Moreover, in fourth-quarter 2021, total earnings of the S&P 500 Index are expected to up 19.3{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} year over year on 11.4{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} higher revenues.
At this stage, investment in low-beta stocks with a high dividend yield and a favorable Zacks Rank may be the best option. If market’s northbound journey continues, then the favorable Zacks Rank of these stocks will capture the upside potential. However, if markets take a downturn, then low-beta stocks will minimize portfolio losses and dividend payment will act as a regular income stream.

Moore instructed NGI that this kind of boycotts are tantamount to a presumption of guilt for the industries.
“Here’s the crux of the concern: How can I get tax bucks produced from the coal and fuel industries and then give” that revenue to financial institutions opposing individuals industries crucial to the point out, mentioned Moore.
In an open letter dealt with to the U.S. banking sector, the condition treasurers, auditors, and comptrollers pledged to “take concrete measures inside our respective authority to select economic institutions that assistance a cost-free marketplace and are not engaged in destructive fossil gasoline sector boycotts for our states’ monetary services contracts.”

Moore instructed NGI that his peers in another source-rich point out, Alaska, have expressed curiosity in the coalition.
“It sounds like they’ll be part of as well,” he mentioned. With additional states, “I think it’s going to expand and I assume we’re likely to have much more leverage.”
A Amount Playing Area

He added that banks opting in opposition to earning oil, gasoline, and coal organizations financing pariahs might also choose to compete for big condition banking contracts.
“These are sweet contracts,” Moore mentioned, outlining that they are low-hazard and “look fantastic on a balance sheet.”
Moore said he hopes the coalition’s endeavours finally will encourage banks to “come to their senses and…want to act like a bank…and be associated in funding. If they want to get involved in politics, they are heading to find out it’s a full-make contact with activity.”

As a outcome, Garrity wrote that her office will “carefully assess its relationships” with monetary institutions with which it does company. She reported that an illustration of such an assessment would be obtaining establishments entire “due diligence questionnaires” to gauge whether they “are engaged in insurance policies which would be dangerous to the dependable strength firms which are so important to the inhabitants of Pennsylvania.”
