6 Beaten-Down Stocks With Promising Potential These six beaten-down stocks have promising potential, especially for value investors who are willing to wait for their value to emerge. Often having a good dividend yield can help make this happen. The reason is that if the company can cover the dividend payment the investor can be reasonably secure knowing that patience will pay off. Collecting the dividend through this period also helps ameliorate the potential downside risk in the stock. Investors know this and effectively can increase their holdings through dollar-cost-averaging whenever the stock’s yield is higher than its long-term average. Again, the key with these beaten-down stocks is that the company has a low dividend payout ratio. 7 Stocks Seeing Significant Insider Buying Let’s dive in and look at these stocks.
