Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Risk Off Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jim-cramer"> Jim Cramer recommended </a>buying RELX PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RELX#NYSE">RELX</a>).
Supporting his view, Barclays analyst Julien Roch, on March 14, upgraded RELX from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RELX/analyst-ratings">Equal-Weight to Overweight</a>.
&nbsp;&#8220;I personally would not own Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>),&#8221; Cramer said.
On the earnings front, the company reported a first-quarter FY25 sales decline of 5.7% year-on-year to $5.26 billion on April 29, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $4.62 billion. Adjusted EPS of $1.23 beat the consensus estimate of $1.18.

When asked about EHang Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EH#NASDAQ">EH</a>), he said, &#8220;I'm not going to really want to do a lot of China right now.&#8221;
On the earnings front, EHang Holdings posted an adjusted loss of 6 cents per share on May 26, compared to a loss of 2 cents per share the previous year.

RELX

Cramer Says He's 'Not Going To Really Want To Do A Lot Of China Right Now'

Scott Galloway, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45337334/scott-galloway-wants-to-cut-checks-for-rich-retirees-but-critics-say-his-fix-could-break-social-security">outspoken professor</a> and entrepreneur, says he gets it wrong all the time—and he doesn't try to hide it. &#8220;I bought Netflix at $12 and sold it at $10. Now it's at $1,100,&#8221; he said on a recent episode of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwdaYTvncwk">My First Million</a>&#8221; podcast. &#8220;I can&#8217;t stand people who are constantly taking pictures of all their wins and posting them on social.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Distressed Investing Over Hype Stocks</h2>
Despite that Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) miss, Galloway has racked up some big wins, mostly by betting on unpopular, overlooked assets. He says the best returns don't come from trendy stocks, but from distressed situations that smell, as he put it, &#8220;like urine.&#8221;

One of his best trades? Buying $10 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/05/45448569/ftx-to-distribute-over-5b-to-creditors-in-second-round-of-payouts-on-may-30">FTX bankruptcy claims</a> for $2.2 million after digging through the exchange&#8217;s filings. He figured their investment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue">AI company Anthropic</a> was worth much more than creditors realized. "Crypto took off, everything they had invested in went crazy," he said. &#8220;Looks like we&#8217;re going to get 160 cents on the dollar.&#8221;
He admits there was risk, but also effort. &#8220;I&#8217;m that guy who reads bankruptcy filings,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Vape Startups To Yellow Pages</h2>
Galloway&#8217;s biggest return came from helping bring vape company NJOY out of bankruptcy. He initially put in $2.5 million. After the company received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval and was bought by Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>), his stake turned into $75 million.
&#8220;We almost went to zero two or three times,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But that was hands down my best investment.&#8221;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/overplay">Mark Cuban Backs This Innovative Startup That Turns Videos into Games&nbsp; &#8212; Claim Your Share Now</a>
Another win came from dying yellow pages company Dex Media. He got in for about $4 million and sold after the business successfully pivoted into software. "What is less sexy than Yellow Pages?" he said.
Still, he doesn't shy away from his losses. He once invested $5 million in a healthcare texting company that went to zero in just 18 months. And he left $2 million on the table after selling covered calls on a stock that jumped right after earnings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shift Away From U.S. Stocks</h2>
Galloway is now moving away from U.S. equities, citing sky-high valuations and political instability. "[If] you think you're diversified because you're in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-an-index-fund">index fund</a>, you're not, because I believe the U.S. is going to go flat in the next decade," he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be almost entirely out of the U.S. market within three or four months.&#8221;
He&#8217;s especially bullish on Europe, clarifying how everyone thinks Europe is overregulated and boring, but that&#8217;s exactly when you invest. &#8220;When something&#8217;s been left for dead,&#8221; he said.

'I Bought Netflix At $12 And Sold At $10. Now It's At $1,100, Says Scott Galloway, Hates When People Only Post Their Wins Online

Market volatility triggered by President Donald Trump's tariff announcement on April 2 continues to weigh on US stocks. Investors are turning to dividend stocks to protect their portfolios against uncertainty due to their strong track record during market downturns.

A few days back, someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1ksb79m/anyone_already_living_the_dream_and_living_off/">asked</a> r/Dividends — a community of income investors on Reddit with over 730,000 followers —whether anyone was living their "dream" life off dividends. The question received over 150 comments, with many investors sharing their success stories and portfolios. One response in particular caught our eye.
An investor said he's been living off dividend income for several years after retiring as an engineer at the age of 55. He sold his house and invested the equity in his income portfolio, which has an average yield of about 8%.
"Combined with existing after-tax investments, a pension, and two social security payments, we generate enough income to travel full time," the investor added. "I'm a retired engineer with a love of numbers and a flair for Excel. It's not perfect, but it's been working well for over a decade."

The investor said in a separate comment that he traveled "extensively" during the first 10 years of his retirement and then shifted to "hyper-travel" mode about nine months ago.&nbsp;
"We currently spend about $20,000 a month on average. We can sustain our travels indefinitely, but anticipate slowing down as we age," he said.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Risk Off Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Altria Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.14% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 38.68 million shares sold short, which is 2.3% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.34 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Altria Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Altria Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.75%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Investors are turning to dividend stocks to guard their portfolios against market volatility amid trade wars and recession risks. Data from <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/research-sp500-dividend-aristocrats.pdf">S&amp;P Global </a>shows that from Dec. 29, 1989, through the end of February, the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in 66.67% of the months when the broader index posted a loss.
A few days ago, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jxqcdg/finally_reached_1m_4km_income_update_on_the_story/">shared</a> his income report and investing journey on r/Dividends, a Reddit community with over 700,000 followers. The portfolio screenshots shared by the investor on the social platform showed his monthly dividend income was roughly $3,960. The investor, around 40, said he started investing at the age of 20.

&nbsp;"At the time I never took it seriously and just putting in like 20-50$ a month," he said. "I ‘seriously' started at around 23-24 when I was putting in approx, 300$ on average (that was a huge for me back then), and now averaging at around 2-2.5k per month."
The investor said while it's difficult to see his portfolio suffering declines amid the current market environment, he's playing the "long game" and believes stocks will eventually go in a positive territory.&nbsp;
The investor said he's never been a "big spender" and has expenses of about €700 a month. He lives in Europe where cost of living is not "that high," he wrote.
"Other than that we have two old cars (20 and 15 years) &#8211; included in above expenses. We don't wear fancy clothes or spend money on impressing others (this can cost you a fortune)," he added.&nbsp;
