In partnership with

Three stocks yielding 4% or more.

That’s today’s theme. And it wasn’t intentional. Two of these stocks are down considerably over the past year, one is actually up. Two are lesser-known businesses you may have never heard of before, one is a big-name pharmaceutical company.

How about we start with the most recognizable name first?

Farmers National Banc Corp. ($FMNB) Declares $0.17 Dividend

I’m a simple man. I see a stock with “Farm” or “Farmer” - or some variation of the term, like “Agriculture” - in the name and I take a closer look. Why? Because stocks that cater to rural America tend to perform well while being overlooked by Wall Street.

Top investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the team that co-founded Zillow and grew it into a $16B real estate leader starts a new company, investors notice. That’s why top firms like SoftBank invested in Pacaso.

Now, after 41% gross profit growth last year, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity is now, at the unlisted stage.
