5 Dirt Cheap Dividend Stocks Hinged on a Global Recovery

Do you know that there are cheap dividend stocks? If you want to know them, you can read on  Insider Monkey wrote a blog about the "5 Dirt Cheap Dividend Stocks Hinged on a Global Recovery". We have identified five materials stocks that pay high dividends in an industry that we believe can excel going forward. The materials industry has been beaten down by an overall weak global economy. Our materials companies range from commodities stocks to chemicals. We believe these companies are tied to global fundamentals, and although recent negative outlooks for global growth have placed pressure on this industry, we feel these companies are now on sale and pay relatively safe dividends that are much more appealing compared to treasuries. The companies mentioned below all have payout ratios at or below 80%, and dividend yields of at least 4%.

Vale SA (NYSE:VALE) is the Brazil-based metals and mining company. Vale is being hit with lower priced iron ore, which will force sales down 17% in 2012, after being up 30% in 2011. The company has positive prospects as demand for iron ore is expected to increase as China and East Asia grow. However, the major catalyst for this relies on a stimulus package in China. The company’s robust balance sheet, with a debt to equity ratio of 0.30 and a payout ratio of only 33%, should continue to easily support its high dividend, yielding the most of the our five materials stocks at 6.3%. Vale saw Arrowstreet Capital take a new position in the company that made the firm the largest fund owner by far in 2Q.
