3 Top-Rated High-Dividend Stocks Under $20

: SIRE | Sisecam Resources LP News, Ratings, and Charts

SIRE – The Fed’s aggressive interest rate hikes in the face of the rising inflation are raising the possibility of the economy tipping into a recession. Given the market uncertainties, high-dividend stocks Sisecam Resources (SIRE), Grindrod Shipping (GRIN), and Alliance Resource (ARLP), which are currently trading under $20, could be an ideal investment to ensure a stable income stream. These stocks are rated Strong Buy or Buy in our proprietary rating system. Keep reading….

The 40-year high inflation and the Fed’s aggressive rate hikes have led to heightened market volatility. The Fed announced a 75-basis-point rate increase earlier this month, marking its most aggressive hike since 1994. Another 75-basis-point hike might be undertaken by the central bank in the coming month, followed by a 50-basis-point increase in September.

The Fed’s hawkish stance raises the possibility of the economy tipping into a recession. However, Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Cresset Capital, said, “We’re calling for a small ‘r’ recession. It means it’s not going to be protracted, and things aren’t going to fall apart.”

Given the market fluctuations, we think high-dividend stocks Sisecam Resources LP (SIRE), Grindrod Shipping Holdings Ltd. (GRIN), and Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. (ARLP), which are currently trading under $20, could be ideal additions to one’s portfolio to generate a steady income stream. 

These stocks are rated Strong Buy or Buy in our proprietary POWR Ratings system.
