Top 5 Dividend Stocks Among Guru Holdings

Investors often go shopping a little below the absolute highest dividend yielding stocks, but for this article, I decided to do something different. Instead, I compiled a list of the top yielding stocks held by the gurus. Every stock on this list is held by many of the absolute best value investors as selected by GuruFocus. I have to warn you: The list contains several energy stocks that look speculative, but at dividends from 7.56% up to 12.88%, they also look very lucrative.

With a $5 billion market cap, Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:RIG) is the largest specialized deep-water and ultra-deep-water driller globally. Tidewater (TDW) is a tiny $452 million market cap offshore service company that provides both vessels and marine support services. It currently yields about 11%, and its customers include offshore energy industry companies. Noble Corp PLC (NYSE:NE) is a $14 billion market cap oil and gas producer that isn’t as widely diversified as some of its peers. It is focused on assets in the U.S., Equatorial Guinea and Israel. Avon Products Inc. (AVP), at fourth place, we finally encounter a stock yielding 8.42% that isn’t in the energy sector, and the only one not in the industry within this top 5.
