15 Large-Cap, High-Yielders With Low P/E Ratios To Consider

I like high yields due to the high amount of cash dividends I receive as a shareholder. But dividends are often not safe. Smaller stocks especially have a higher risk for dividend cuts. I´ve tried to figure out some stocks with a large capitalization (over USD 10 billion), a high dividend yield (over five percent) and finally a cheap P/E and forward P/E of less than 15. Only 15 from 35 large cap high yields fulfilled these criteria. Three have a double-digit yield and nine are currently recommended to buy.
