3 Large Caps Close To New 52-Week Highs And Earnings Yields Over 10%

The markets are at all time highs and valuations are getting more and more expensive, measured by earnings multiples. Not all stocks are highly priced. Out there are still a lot of opportunities with a single P/E multiple.

Today I would like to show you those stocks that are close to new 52-Week-Highs and having a single earnings multiple at the same time. In order to reduce the results, I observed only companies with a market capitalization over USD 10 billion.
