Top Dividend Stock Will Yield 16%, Multiple Analyst Upgrades, Market Sleeping

Looking for market inefficiencies? That's the Holy Grail for value investors, and they don't come along every day. Usually, when stocks get multiple analyst upgrades, they take off, and leave us value investors in the dust, wishing we had acted sooner. This stock will be paying a special dividend in Q2 2017 that equals an 11.65% yield. It will also pay 2 semi-annual dividends, and buy back over $1B in shares. It has rec'd 3 analyst upgrades in the past month, but is still less than 6% above its 52-week lows.

National Grid plc (NYSE:NGG), a large utility firm with holdings in the UK and the northeastern US. NGG has received multiple upgrades in the past few weeks, but Mr. Market hasn't really plugged into this stock wholeheartedly. We believe that this represents a good opportunity for investors to get in cheap and reap the rewards of some hefty payouts that are on the way in 2017. We're not alone in this conviction either - these four firms have upgraded NGG to Buy or Outperform since 12/1/16.
