Large Caps Trading Below Book Value And Paying Dividends

It might be a value stock if you can pick it up at below book value.

That it’s making money and paying dividends makes it interesting. Add to those qualities that’s it’s a large capitalization equity and actively traded, it’s likely —not guaranteed but likely — you can get in and out of it without a ridiculous spread between the bid and the ask.

These 4 stocks fit that mold.
