Three Stocks the Market May Be Overlooking
1.00%March 20 | MyPlanIQ portfolio symbol P_37305

As we continue to look at a variety of stocks -- some for long term safety and income -- others for potential growth, we pick up on three stocks highlighted by Scott Rubin who is a Benzinga Staff Writer. His filter was simple:

  • P/E below 15
  • PEG ratio below 1
  • Dividend yield above 3%
  • An analyst recommendation of "Strong Buy."

The three stocks this turned up was:

  • Ennis, Inc. (EBF) - has two different businesses, prints and apparel. A strange mix of business forms and a line of activewear, including t-shirts, fleece goods, and other apparel.
  • Newcastle Investment Corp. (NCT) -  actively manages a portfolio of real estate securities, loans and other real estate related assets. Newcastle was hit hard during the financial crisis and the stock is inherently risky
  • Rose Rock Midstream LP (RRMS)  owns, operates, develops and acquires a diversified portfolio of midstream energy assets

These are three different businesses and we will look at them individually and together to see if there is any hedging. Also, as Scott noted that Newcastle was hit hard in the crisis, we will be able to isolate its impact on the other two and perhaps consider the other two.We will compare this selection with our dividend bearing ETF portfolio.
