The background for this exercise is to find stocks with a possible turnaround story and to bet on a strong bull race. Oversold stocks are often traded at new lows but they could recover in a fast way. If the company pays stable dividends, it should increase the expected total return for an investor. However, here is a current screen of high-yield stocks that are close to their 52-Week Lows (up to 3 percent). In order to eliminate stocks with higher risk, I screened only companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion.
