United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) is currently at a five-year low, trading at 12 times its earnings forecast with a yield nearly 8%, nearly doubling the ten-year Treasury note. The decline is attributed to volume reductions, but future outlook remains positive, with potential growth expected in fiscal year 2026. UPS’s upcoming Q3 earnings report may reveal a shift toward market strength.
Diageo (NYSE: DEO) has also reached a new low, with a yield around 4.25% and a payout ratio at 60%, indicating safety. The company is anticipated to announce plans for new leadership and revitalization soon, amid efforts to stabilize its dividend despite past inconsistencies in quarterly distributions.
ONEOK (NYSE: OKE) hit a one-year low in September amidst concerns over acquisitions; however, it maintains a strong cash-generating position and a substantial 5.75% dividend yield. Despite a high payout ratio of 80%, growth forecasts suggest a potential for distribution increases, backed by robust cash flow.
