Dow Chemical, BCE Offer More Than Dividends Says Epoch Manager

Lower input costs and continued reinvestment in its plants are enabling Dow Chemical to grow its business and share price, said Eric Sappenfield, lead manager for the Epoch Investment Partners Global Equity Shareholder Yield strategy. Sappenfield added that investors are also fond of Dow's steady dividend payout. He is bullish on shares of BCE, saying the telecom provider offers the latest technology to content hungry Canadians, as well as a healthy dividend of 5%. Finally, Sappenfield is positive on National Grid because the British utility is a great investment in a low-yield environment.
