NGVT, Gulfport Energy GPOR and Pitney Bowes PBI.4 High Earnings Yield Value Stocks to Buy for Trump's Second PresidencyThe favorable December inflation reading has eased concerns about the Federal Reserve’s ability to justify rate cuts in 2025. Adding to the positive sentiment is the strong start to the fourth-quarter 2024 earnings season.However, uncertainty lingers with Donald Trump resuming presidency. Key policies under the new administration, including higher trade tariffs, fiscal easing and tighter immigration controls, will be closely watched. Planned tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China starting Feb. 1 have already unsettled markets, raising questions about global trade shifts. The Trump 2.0 era is poised to usher in a renewed wave of tariffs and protectionist policies. In this environment, volatility may remain a dominant theme, making value investing an appealing strategy for navigating the uncertain road ahead.The value investing approach seeks to profit from investing in stocks that appear to be trading at a discount to their intrinsic values and eventually make handsome returns when the stock price rises toward that value, reflecting the actual fundamentals. One interesting ratio that you can consider for ferreting out attractively valued stocks is earnings yield.Consider investing in stocks like Harmony Biosciences, Ingevity Corp., Gulfport Energy and Pitney Bowes, which are value picks boasting high earnings yield.Earnings Yield Metric StrengthEarnings yield, expressed in percentage, is calculated as annual earnings per share (EPS) divided by market price. This metric measures the anticipated yield (or return) from earnings for each dollar invested in a stock today. While comparing stocks, if other factors are similar, the ones with higher earnings yield are considered undervalued, while those with lower earnings yield are seen as overpriced.While earnings yield is nothing but the reciprocal of the P/E ratio, it is albeit a little more illuminating than the traditional P/E ratio as it also facilitates the comparison of stocks with fixed-income securities. Investors often compare the earnings yield of a stock to the prevailing interest rates, such as the current 10-year Treasury yield, to get a sense of the return on investment it offers compared to virtually risk-free returns.If the yield on a stock is lower than the 10-year Treasury yield, it would be considered overvalued relative to bonds. Conversely, if the yield on the stock is higher, it would be considered undervalued. In this situation, investing in the stock market would be a better option for a value investor.Our PicksHere we discuss four of the 39 stocks that qualified the screen:Harmony Biosciences: This pharmaceutical company engages in developing and commercializing therapies for rare neurological disorders.
