For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – April 2, 2020 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include Enviva Partners, LP , MGM Growth Properties LLC , Chimera Investment Corp. (CIM - Free Report) , DCP Midstream, LP and Teekay LNG Partners L.P. .
Here are highlights from Wednesday’s Analyst Blog:
5 High-Yield to Defy Coronavirus Crisis in April
With cities under lockdown and factories closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, stocks have been recording steep declines. In fact, benchmarks including the S&P 500 Index fell 12.5%, while the DOW and the Nasdaq declined 13.7% and 10.1%, respectively in the past 30 days
The rapid spread of the virus in the absence of a cure or vaccination raises investor concern about the U.S. economic outlook. Millions will be facing unemployment and businesses have to strive hard to address liquidity and solvency issues. On Mar 31, the Conference Board reported that the index of consumer confidence fell to 120 in March from a revised 132.6 in February, a 32-month low. Consumers are rapidly losing confidence in the economy as the deadly virus wreaks havoc.
Investors have been looking for safe investment options as the economic impact of coronavirus keeps growing. High-yield stocks are in focus in times of crisis like the current one, as high dividend payout ratio of these companies will offer a constant income stream. Along with that the Federal Reserve’s two emergency rate cuts in March have brought interest rates to 0-0.25%. Now, with loans available at cheaper rates, the flow of money is expected to continue at these dividend-paying companies.
