Avoid value traps by focusing on companies with solid fundamentals, like Elevance Health, Becton, Dickinson, LyondellBasell, Rogers Communications and Rexford Industrial Realty. These companies offer a 3.7% yield and a 27% discount to fair value, and they have historically outperformed the market with 27% less volatility.
The S&P is up almost 28% in 2024, and many investors worry about a melt-up followed by a sharp correction like in 2022 or 2018.

These 12 Aristocrats provide a 3.2% yield, 14% discount, 22% upside potential next year, and 10% long-term income growth consensus, while being 54% lower volatility than the S&P.
