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. However, for the week ended Dec 17, these three indexes tumbled 1.7{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996}, 1.9{21df340e03e388cc75c411746d1a214f72c176b221768b7ada42b4d751988996} and 3{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.

Innovative Hydrogen-Based Fuel Supplier Ecombustible Energy LLC to Merge With Benessere Capital Acquisition Corp.

Deal is designed to accelerate eCombustible Energy’s go-to-market strategy

eCombustible Energy has developed a customizable hydrogen-based fuel production technology that provides on-site fuel delivery under long-term fuel supply agreements
eCombustible Energy’s fuel technology is applicable to a large variety of stationary thermal applications, requires little to no modification to customers’ existing thermal power equipment (e.g., boiler or kiln), and the eCombustible fuel contains no carbon
eCombustible Energy fuel production modules are built, installed, owned, operated, and maintained onsite by eCombustible Energy
Global organizations in the mining, steel, tile, beverage, hospitality and tire sectors have shown strong interest in the eCombustible fuel solution, with several under contract and a number under MOU to integrate eCombustible fuel into their operations
Securityholders of eCombustible Energy to receive shares of common stock with a value of $805 million, subject to adjustment, plus an earnout of up to 59 million additional shares
Combined company expected to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “ECEC”; the transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions

MMIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2021 / Yesterday, Benessere Capital Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq:BENE), a special purpose acquisition company (“Benessere”), and eCombustible Energy LLC, a leading innovator and provider of customizable hydrogen-based fuel for thermal industrial applications (“eCombustible Energy”), announced that the companies have entered into a definitive business combination agreement, providing for a business combination that will result in eCombustible Energy becoming a public listed company, subject to regulatory and stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, the combined company is expected to operate under the name eCombustible Energy Corp. and list on Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “ECEC”.

Founded in 2010 by Miami-based entrepreneur and investor Jorge Arevalo, eCombustible Energy offers a long-term fuel supply solution that is designed to provide the world’s most fossil fuel-dependent industries with a fuel that is carbon-free, cost-competitive, and requires little to no modification to existing customer equipment. The efficacy of its hydrogen-based fuel, eCombustible, has been validated through testing and independent assessments by third-party engineering firms and experts.

“We believe a carbon-free future will best be achieved on a win-win basis, with fossil fuel-reliant industries being empowered to transition to clean and renewable energy solutions without crippling investments,” said eCombustible Energy CEO, Jorge Arevalo. “This business combination is intended to fuel the acceleration and adoption of eCombustible, and we are confident that we can help many of the world’s largest industrial companies’ transition to our carbon-free fuel and advance ESG objectives in a seamless, viable, and impactful way.”

Benessere is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with technology-focused, middle-market and emerging-growth companies in North, Central and South America. Led by CEO Patrick Orlando, Benessere was drawn to eCombustible Energy given the immense need for and potential of decarbonizing industries.

“The transition away from carbon containing fuel towards hydrogen and other clean fuel technologies has been underway for several years; however, the applicability of hydrogen as an alternative is nascent. eCombustible has not only focused on producing hydrogen efficiently but also making hydrogen a true solution for applications including fixed thermal applications. Thermal energy is foundational to a multitude of industrial applications and we believe eCombustible presents a unique solution with the potential to accelerate the transition to a lower carbon energy future,” said Patrick Orlando, CEO of Benessere. “We are excited to work with the eCombustible Energy team in an attempt to enhance value across the company, industry, public shareholders and society.”

The transaction is subject to approval by stakeholders of Benessere and eCombustible Energy and other customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals.

GE intends to execute tax-free spin-offs of Healthcare in early 2023 and of the Renewable Energy and Power company in early 2024

GE will use proceeds from recently closed GECAS transaction to significantly reduce debt in the near future; remains committed to continued debt reduction along with strategic capital deployment
Company to host a call with investors at 8:15 am ET

BOSTON, November 09, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GE (NYSE:GE) today announced its plan to form three industry-leading, global public companies focused on the growth sectors of aviation, healthcare, and energy, by:

Pursuing a tax-free spin-off of GE Healthcare, creating a pure-play company at the center of precision health in early 2023, in which GE expects to retain a stake of 19.9 percent; and
Combining GE Renewable Energy, GE Power, and GE Digital into one business, positioned to lead the energy transition, and then pursuing a tax-free spin-off of this business in early 2024.
Following these transactions, GE will be an aviation-focused company shaping the future of flight.

As independently run companies, the businesses will be better positioned to deliver long-term growth and create value for customers, investors, and employees, with each benefitting from:

Deeper operational focus, accountability, and agility to meet customer needs;
Tailored capital allocation decisions in line with distinct strategies and industry-specific dynamics;
Strategic and financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities;
Dedicated boards of directors with deep domain expertise;
Business- and industry-oriented career opportunities and incentives for employees; and
Distinct and compelling investment profiles appealing to broader, deeper investor bases.

GE Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr. said, “At GE we have always taken immense pride in our purpose of building a world that works. The world demands—and deserves—we bring our best to solve the biggest challenges in flight, healthcare, and energy. By creating three industry-leading, global public companies, each can benefit from greater focus, tailored capital allocation, and strategic flexibility to drive long-term growth and value for customers, investors, and employees. We are putting our technology expertise, leadership, and global reach to work to better serve our customers.”

Culp continued, “Today is a defining moment for GE, and we are ready. Our teams have done exceptional work strengthening our financial position and operating performance, all while deepening our culture of continuous improvement and lean. And we’re not finished—we remain focused on continuing to reduce debt, improve our operational performance, and strategically deploy capital to drive sustainable, profitable growth. We have a responsibility to move with speed to shape the future of flight, deliver precision health, and lead the energy transition. The momentum we have built puts us in a position of strength to take this exciting next step in GE’s transformation and realize the full potential of each of our businesses.”

Meaningful Progress Enabling Next Step in GE’s Transformation
This plan builds on the meaningful momentum that GE has built in recent years.

Stronger Financial Position

Focused and de-risked through strategic portfolio actions including recent GECAS transaction, resulting in a simpler, stronger, more focused high-tech industrial company;
Expect to achieve greater than $75 billion of gross debt reduction from the end of 2018 through the end of 2021;
Stabilized Insurance and mitigated funding risks through capital contributions of $9.4 billion since 2018, investment portfolio actions, improved claims management, and premium increases;
Managed pension obligations with discipline, including funding $8.5 billion since 2018 and freezing most pension plans in the U.S. and U.K., and expect no further contributions will be needed through the end of the decade; and
Strengthened liquidity and improved cash management, including eliminating on-book factoring, and today announcing plan to eliminate remainder of GE’s off-book factoring.

Stronger Business and Operating Performance

Implemented decentralized operating model by moving the center of gravity closer to customers, which enabled stronger customer relationships and operational improvement in GE’s nearly 30 P&Ls;
Scaled lean company-wide, driving performance improvements and culture change;
Improving operating performance in businesses to drive consistent, sustainable free cash flow, while enhancing transparency and financial flexibility to reinvest in growth opportunities;
Strengthened leadership and governance with Board refreshment, numerous leadership appointments, and auditor transition; and
Emerging from COVID-19 headwinds, while improving cash generation, playing offense, and investing for growth.

In today’s portfolio of businesses, GE is on track to reduce debt by more than $75 billion by the end of 2021 and is now on track to bring its net-debt-to-EBITDA* ratio to less than 2.5x in 2023. GE will also continue to drive operating improvements for sustainable profitable growth, and the company now expects to achieve high-single-digit free cash flow margins* in 2023. As a result, GE is in a strong position to execute this plan to form three well-capitalized, investment-grade companies. The company and its businesses will continue to serve GE’s partners and customers throughout this transition.

Management

Culp will serve as non-executive chairman of the GE healthcare company upon its spin-off. He will continue to serve as chairman and CEO of GE until the second spin-off, at which point, he will lead the GE aviation-focused company going forward.

Peter Arduini will assume the role of president and CEO of GE Healthcare effective January 1, 2022. Scott Strazik will be the CEO of the combined Renewable Energy, Power, and Digital business while John Slattery continues as CEO of Aviation.

Focus	Helping customers achieve greater efficiency and sustainability and invent the future of flight.	Driving innovation in precision health to address critical patient and clinical challenges.	Supporting customers and communities seeking to provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable power

Transaction Details

GE intends to execute the spin-offs of Healthcare in early 2023 and of the Renewable Energy and Power business in early 2024. The respective capital structures, brands, and leadership teams for each independent company will be determined and announced later. Where required to do so, GE will consult with employee representatives in line with its legal obligations before any final decisions are taken.

Through the transition, GE will be able to monetize its stakes in AerCap and Baker Hughes, prioritizing further debt reduction. Each of the three resulting independent companies will be well capitalized with investment-grade ratings.

Following the spin-off transactions, GE will retain other assets and liabilities of GE today, including run-off insurance operations. Upon closing the Healthcare transaction, GE expects to retain a stake of 19.9 percent in the healthcare company to provide capital allocation flexibility. GE also intends that Healthcare will issue debt securities, the proceeds of which will be used to pay down outstanding GE debt. The transactions are not subject to bondholder consent.

The company expects to incur one-time separation, transition, and operational costs of approximately $2 billion and tax costs of less than $0.5 billion, which will depend on specifics of the transaction. The proposed spin-offs of Healthcare and the Renewable Energy and Power business are intended to be tax-free for GE and GE shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The transactions are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including final approvals by GE’s Board of Directors, private letter rulings from the Internal Revenue Service and/or tax opinions from counsel, the filing and effectiveness of Form 10 registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and satisfactory completion of financing.

Advisors

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP is serving as lead legal counsel. Evercore and PJT Partners are the lead financial advisors to GE on the transaction. GE also received legal advice from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and financial advice from BofA Securities and Goldman Sachs.

Conference Call and Webcast

GE will host an investor conference call today starting at 8:15am ET to discuss its plans. The call will feature remarks from Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., and CFO Carolina Dybeck Happe.

The conference call will be broadcast live via webcast, and the webcast and accompanying slide presentation containing financial information can be accessed by visiting the Events and Reports page on GE’s website at: www.ge.com/investor. An archived version of the webcast will be available on the website after the call.
