BY LOUIS NAVELLIER, GROWTH INVESTOR

Any collection of stocks is more clearly understood when subjected to this yield-based (dog catcher) analysis, these seven Kiplinger/DogsOfTheDow/GrowthInvestor articles projecting ‘top’ reliable dividend stocks are perfect for the dogcatcher process. Here is December 16 data for 41 dividend paying stocks of 53 screened and the 6 living up to the dogcatcher ‘ideal’ in this three source collection. These make the Be-All/End-All Stocks 2022 collection.

The Ides of March 2020 plunge in the stock market took its toll on stocks over two years and nine months ago. However, sudden recovery in prices after the plunge by these forty-one dividend stocks made the possibility of owning productive dividend shares from this collection more remote for first-time investors.

December 2022 shows a glimmer of light from six stocks emerging as dogcatcher ideal candidates. They are: North European Oil Royalty Trust ( NRT ); ICL Group Ltd ( ICL ); Energy Transfer LP ( ET ); BP p.l.c. ( BP ); Canon Inc. ( CAJ ); Tricon Residential Inc. ( TCN ). Their prices settled between $6 and $120 below the annual dividend payout from a $1K investment.

Actionable Conclusions (1-10): Brokers Estimated Top-Ten 2 022 Closer-Stocks Could Net 15.92% to 40.48% Gains By November 2023

Six of the tops-by-yield Be-All/End-All Stocks 2022 (tinted in the chart below) were also the top gainers for the coming year based on analyst 1-year targets. Thus, the top yield dog strategy for this group, as graded by analyst estimates for this month, proved 60% accurate.

Estimated dividend-returns from $1000 invested in each of the highest-yielding stocks and their aggregate one-year analyst median-target prices, as reported by YCharts, created the 2022-23 data points. However, one year target-prices by lone analysts were not counted. The resulting ten probable best profit-generating Be-All/End-All Stocks 2022 projected to December 16, 2023, by that reckoning, were:

Tricon Residential Inc. ( TCN ) netted $558.43 based on dividends plus a median target price estimate from 8 analysts, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 13% more than the market as a whole.

ICL Group Ltd ( ICL ) netted $509.45 based on the median of target estimates from 5 analysts, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 8% greater than the market as a whole.

Energy Transfer LP ( ET ) netted $478.84 based on estimates from 18 analysts, plus dividends less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 78% greater than the market as a whole.

Pioneer Natural Resources Co. ( PXD ) netted $393.88 based on the median of target estimates from 33 analysts, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 43% greater than the market as a whole.

Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. ( CNQ ) netted $353.59 based on the median of target estimates from 3 analysts, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 53% greater than the market as a whole.

Digital Realty Trust Inc. ( DLR ) netted $275.05 based on estimates from 20 analysts, plus dividends, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 55% less than the market as a whole.

Matson Inc. ( MATX ) netted $173.17 based on the median of target prices estimated by 3 analysts, plus estimated dividends, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 27% greater than the market as a whole.

ConocoPhillips ( COP ) netted $263.76 based on the median of target estimates from 26 analysts, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 30% greater than the market as a whole.

EOG Resources Inc. ( EOG ) netted $256.56 based on the median of target price estimates from 29 analysts plus dividends less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 54% greater than the market as a whole.

Invitation Homes Inc. ( INVH ) netted $243.49 based on the median of target estimates from 21 analysts, less broker fees. The Beta number showed this estimate subject to risk/volatility 17% less than the market as a whole.

The average net-gain in dividend and price was 36.06% on $10k invested as $1k in each of these ten Be-All/End-All Stocks 2022. This gain estimate was subject to average risk/volatility 37% greater than the market as a whole.

The Dividend Dogs Rule

The "dog" moniker was earned by stocks exhibiting three traits: (1) paying reliable, repeating dividends, (2) their prices fell to where (3) yield (dividend/price) grew higher than their peers. Thus, the highest yielding stocks in any collection became known as "dogs." More specifically, these are, in fact, best called, "underdogs".

Top 53 Be-All/End-All 2022 Stock Picks By Broker Targets

This scale of broker-estimated upside (or downside) for stock prices provides a scale of market popularity. Note: no broker coverage or 1 broker coverage produced a zero score on the above scale. This scale can be taken as an emotional component as opposed to the strictly monetary and objective dividend/price yield-driven report below. As noted above, these scores may also be taken as contrarian.

Top 53 2022 Be-All/End-All 2022 Stock Picks By Yield

Actionable Conclusions (11-20): Ten Top Stocks By Yield Are The December Be-All/End-All 2022 Dividend Dog Pack

Top ten Be-All/End-All 2022 Dividend Stocks selected 12/16/22 by yield represented just three of eleven Morningstar sectors.

First place was secured by the first of seven energy representatives, North European Oil Royalty Trust [1]. The others placed third, fourth, sixth, eighth, ninth, and tenth: Pioneer Natural Resources Co. [3], Energy Transfer LP [4], Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. [6], BP p.l.c. [8], Exxon Mobil Corp. ( XOM ) [9], and Chevron Corp. ( CVX ) [10].

Second place was secured by the lone basic materials concern, ICL Group Ltd [2].

Then, two real estate members placed fifth and seventh: Digital Realty Trust Inc. [5], and Realty Income Corp. ( O ) [7], to complete the Top ten Be-All/End-All 2022 Dividend Stocks for December.

Actionable Conclusions: (21-30) Ten Be-All/End-All 2022 Dividend Stocks Showed 22.45% to 53.74% Upsides To December 2023, With (31) No Losers

To quantify top-yield rankings, analyst median-price target estimates provided a "market sentiment" gauge of upside potential. Added to the simple high-yield metrics, analyst median price target estimates became another tool to dig-out bargains.

Analysts Estimated A 20.94% Advantage For 5 Highest Yield, Lowest Priced of Top-Ten Be-All/End-All 2022 Stocks To December 2023

Ten top Be-All/End-All 2022 Stocks were culled by yield for this monthly update. Yield (dividend/price) results verified by YCharts did the ranking.

As noted above, top-ten Be-All/End-All 2022 Dogs selected 12/16/22, showing the highest dividend yields, represented three of eleven sectors in the Morningstar scheme.

Actionable Conclusions: Analysts Estimated The 5 Lowest-Priced Of Ten Highest-Yield Be-All/End-All 2022 Dividend Stocks (33) Delivering 32.68% Vs. (34) 27.02% Net Gains by All Ten by December 2023

$5000 invested as $1k in each of the five lowest-priced stocks in the top ten Be-All/End-All 2022 dividend pack by yield were predicted by analyst 1-year targets to deliver 20.94% more gain than $5,000 invested as $.5k in all ten. The lowest-priced Be-All/End-All 2022 top-yield stock, ICL Group Ltd, was projected to deliver the best net gain of 50.94%.

The five lowest-priced top-yield Be-All/End-All 2022 dividend stocks for December 16 were: ICL Group Ltd; Energy Transfer LP; North European Oil Royalty Trust; BP p.l.c.; Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. with prices ranging from $7.31 to $52.44

The five higher-priced top-yield Be-All/End-All 2022 dividend stocks for December 16 were: Realty Income Corp.; Digital Realty Trust Inc.; Exxon Mobil Corp.; Chevron Corp.; Pioneer Natural Resources Co., whose prices ranged from $63.48 to $218.92.

This distinction between five low-priced dividend dogs and the general field of ten reflected Michael B. O'Higgins' "basic method" for beating the Dow. The scale of projected gains based on analyst targets added a unique element of "market sentiment" gauging upside potential. It provided a here-and-now equivalent of waiting a year to find out what might happen in the market. Caution is advised, since analysts are historically only 20% to 85% accurate on the direction of change and just 0% to 15% accurate on the degree of change.

Afterword

If somehow you missed the suggestion of the six stocks ripe for picking at the start of the article, here is a repeat of the list at the end:

In the current market advance, dividends from $1K invested in the eight stocks listed above met or exceeded their single share prices as of 12/16/22.

As we are over nine months past the second anniversary of the 2020 Ides of March dip, the time to snap up those six top yield Be-All/End-All 2022 Stocks is now... unless another big bearish drop in price looms ahead. (At which time your strategy would be to add to your holdings.)

Recent vs Fair Top Ten Be-All/End-All 2022 Prices

Since four of the top-ten Be-All/End-All 2022 shares are priced less than the annual dividends paid out from a $1K investment, the following top chart shows the dollar and percentage shift required for six at recent prices to create break-even pricing for all ten. Starting with the dollar and percent variants to all ten top dogs conforming to (but not exceeding) the dogcatcher ideal in the top chart, the recent prices are documented in the middle chart and the fair prices calculated in the bottom chart.

The top chart is an indicator of how low the five non-ideal stocks must adjust to become fair-priced. Which means conforming the standard of dividends from $1K invested exceeding the current single share price.
