Okay, UK stock markets rebounded sharply after collapsing as concerns about the Omicron variant of the coronavirus emerged. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any more great bargains to buy today.
There are a lot of prominent actions on the FTSE 100 the only ones that are seriously catching my attention right now.
For example, these three top-notch beauties all offer the kind of exceptional overall value that makes me consider investing today. Each is trading on a price-to-earnings (P / E) ratio around or below the 10-fold bargain benchmark for 2022.
Plus, each of those FTSE 100 stocks is earning a gigantic dividend yield, north of 8.4%.
Riding the retirement boom
Low interest rates mean it is difficult for UK savers and investors to get a decent return on their cash. This plays into the hands of financial services companies like M&G who provide advice to help people overcome this problem.
I love this operator especially because of its excellent brand power, a quality that cannot be overstated when it comes to protecting people’s money.
I am also thinking of buying M&G because it is Pru the pension services division will put it in the box to exploit Britain’s aging population.
Government statistics suggest that 24% of the population will be 65 and over by 2043. This compares to 19% in 2019. Today, this FTSE 100 stock offers a gigantic dividend yield of 8.9 %. I would buy it even if the highly regulated nature of its operations poses a constant threat to future profits.
Another hero of the FTSE 100 dividend
The possibility of inflation continuing to soar in 2022 creates a layer of risk for home builders like Khaki. Theoretically, this could trigger a tsunami of interest rate hikes by the Bank of England that would affect homeowners’ affordability. But, for my money, I think the overall trading conditions should remain favorable for the FTSE 100 homebuilder and its peers.
I am convinced that even if interest rates rise sharply, they will always remain below historical norms. Additionally, the ultra-competitive mortgage market means lenders will help offset this pressure with generous loan products.
The continued support of purchase assistance for first-time homebuyers is also expected to increase demand for Persimmon homes. This share also bears a dividend yield of 8.4% for 2022.
9.2% dividend rate!
I am also thinking of the mining giant FTSE 100 BHP Group could be a high dividend stock for me to buy. This is even if the economic cooling in China and a possible collapse of the real estate market in the Far East threaten profits. In recent hours, the real estate mammoth Evergrande missed major bond payments, further heightening the chatter about a real estate crash.
But, as a long-term investor, there are a lot of things I love about BHP. I think the demand for its wide range of commodities could soar as investment in infrastructure and housing ramps up across the world.
I also think profits could skyrocket as the electric vehicle revolution increases demand for the copper it extracts from the ground. Today, BHP has a strong forward dividend yield of 9.2%.
