When a stock is trading near its 52-week low, that can potentially be an attractive time to buy
A cheaper price means that investors aren't feeling great the stock for one reason or another
In some cases, it may be an overreaction, but in other cases, there is significant risk and the sharp drop in price is justifiable
For the three stocks listed here, there isn't much risk
They aren't doing well this year, but they still have great es, and they can recover in the long run
Lowe's Companies (LOW 3. 11%), cter & Gamble (PG 1. 52%), and Chevron (CVX 1. 93%) all offer attractive yields that are higher than the S&P 500 average of 1

Lowe's Companies: 2. 2% yield imvement retailer Lowe's has seen its price fall by more than 9% since the start of the year (returns as of June 27)
It's getting close to its 52-week low of $206
Investors are worried that amid sluggish economic conditions, people are going to be holding back on spending on renovation jects and repairs, which is a valid concern
But it's also a short-term one
As economic conditions imve, there should be an uptick in for Lowe's
For the current fiscal year (which ends in January), Lowe's is jecting its comparable sales to be flat to up 1%
While that doesn't scream growth, it also means the company isn't expecting its revenue to nosedive, either
It's stable, and that's a good sign for dividend investors
If the can keep things relatively stable amid such challenging macroeconomic conditions, that's a good sign of its overall strength and diversification
The company's payout ratio is also modest at just 38%, which means the dividend is well supported with solid financials
Although this may not be a terribly exciting stock to own right now, Lowe's can make for a great long-term buy
It trades at less than 19 times its trailing earnings, and with an above-average yield of 2. 2%, it can be a good option to consider adding to your portfolio
The company has also increased its dividend for more than 50 consecutive years, making it a Dividend King
Cter & Gamble: 2. 6% yield You can collect a higher yield with cter & Gamble stock, where the payout is around 2
Entering trading this week, the stock was just a few dollars away from its 52-week low of $156
However, it's down around 5% since the start of the year
The sell-off hasn't been extreme, but it's been enough to push this blue chip stock near its low
During the first three months of the year, the company's net sales totaled $19. 8 billion and were down 2% year over year
However, its organic growth rate, which excludes the effects of foreign currency, divestitures, and acquisitions, was steady at 1%
As with Lowe's, this isn't an exciting rate of growth for the
But cter & Gamble's has generally been fairly stable over the years
The company has many top consumer brands in its portfolio, including Pampers and Tide
These are staples that people simply can't do without
The biggest risk is that consumers might trade down to no-name ducts, but there hasn't been a significant drop in sales lately to suggest that that's a huge concern for the
The stock remains a solid investment over the long term, especially when you consider that it has raised its payout for 69 consecutive years
While you'll be collecting 2. 6% in dividends if you invest today, over the long term, that dividend income is ly to rise
This is another example of a great stock to just buy and hold for years
Chevron: 4. 8% yield The highest payout on this list belongs to oil and gas giant Chevron, which yields 4
This Warren Buffett-apved stock is down around 1% this year, which doesn't look too bad given that oil prices have been falling over the past 12 months
There can be considerable volatility that comes with the stock due to changing commodity prices
In its most recent quarter, which on March 31, Chevron's net income declined by 37% to $3
While that may seem troubling, that can also easily change if the price of oil rises higher in the future
What's impressive is that even despite the volatility, the company has a dividend growth streak that spans 38 years
Even with the drop in earnings, its payout ratio is still around 75%
As a leading company and ducer in the oil and gas industry, Chevron can be a fairly stable and safe investment to hang on to, especially if you love dividends
While it has been rallying over the past month, it's still not far from its 52-week low of $132
Now can be a great time to buy it
