How We Identify Undervalued Stocks (Quick Recap)

Every stock in this month’s list is selected using the same disciplined, repeatable framework - designed to identify dividend-paying companies trading below fair value while maintaining strong fundamentals and sustainable payouts.

In practice, that means:

  • Elevated dividend yields vs. historical averages (Dividend Yield Theory)

  • Discounted valuations, typically forward P/E below long-term norms

  • High dividend safety, generally scores of 60+

  • Meaningful upside potential, targeting 15%+ medium-term returns

  • Conservative balance sheets, Net Debt/EBITDA < 3x (or < 5.5x for REITs)

This process helps us focus on high-quality income stocks that are mispriced today but positioned to deliver both reliable income and long-term capital appreciation.


Below are the January stocks that passed every filter above.
