We’ve now got a very attractive entry point. If you’re looking for long-term growth in your portfolio, I think this is a great choice: The company’s revenues are still strong and its operating cash flow is expected to recover very strongly.

I believe the company’s above average yield, low valuation, small size and reasonable debt levels offers a great opportunity for investors seeking income and growth.

Those returns are resulting from strong growth, an increasing dividend, and a margin of safety based on its low valuation.

As the economy continues to grapple with rising interest rates, inflation and economic uncertainties, the importance of valuation and margin of safety is critical. Consequently, today I’m offering a high-level overview of five companies that pay a decent and growing dividend that’s well-covered by cash flows. But most importantly, they offer the risk-averse investor a margin of safety and great value.

In the second installment of this series, I will be sharing the process that I utilize to find stocks that appropriately meet the goals and objectives of the investment policy statement I’ve established.
